Syringoma is a type of benign proliferation, often related to one's endocrine system. Some cases may also be associated with prolonged use of cosmetics around the eyes, leading to poor local sweat discharge. Generally, this disease is not contagious, and cannot be spread through contact or touching with hands. The most common treatment approach is to visit a dermatology department in a standard hospital and have it removed with a laser. However, this condition may recur, and some people may not be cured after just one treatment. If it reappears, laser treatment can be used again. Often, multiple treatments can completely cure it. After recovery, it is advisable to exercise more, avoid using cosmetics around the affected area, refrain from consuming spicy and irritating foods, and avoid staying up late.

Will syringoma disappear on its own?

Syringoma is a type of benign tumor that originates from sweat glands, commonly found around the eyes, and predominantly seen in adult women, especially those over 40 years old. Generally, it is asymptomatic. Syringomas do not disappear on their own and require physical treatment methods for removal. This condition does not affect health, but for cosmetic reasons, removal can be accomplished using laser methods. Histopathologically, the distal sweat ducts exhibit tadpole-like changes. It is important to avoid picking or squeezing them, as using medications is ineffective; only physical treatment measures can facilitate their removal.

Will sweat gland tumors recur?

The recurrence rate of syringoma is relatively high, as this condition is mainly related to familial genetics or local sweat gland development, which are determined by one's constitution or genes. The most common treatment method is local laser treatment. In severe cases, it may also be addressed with surgical intervention. However, there is no definitive solution to prevent recurrence; treatment must be administered anew when syringomas reappear. It is important to maintain proper dietary and lifestyle habits, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and refraining from staying up late. Particularly in areas prone to outbreaks, one should avoid applying cosmetics that can clog pores and obstruct sweat secretion. Regular exercise can help strengthen the immune system and potentially reduce the recurrence of this condition.

How to remove the red marks left by syringoma

The red marks left after the treatment of syringoma are relatively normal, and over time, many marks left after surgery will fade on their own. After surgery, when scabbing and flaking occur, there are usually some marks. Under the guidance of a doctor, one can choose to apply epidermal growth factor gel to the localized skin to promote skin metabolism, reduce pigmentation, and eliminate the red marks. For red marks left after syringoma surgery, in addition to topical medications, one can also alleviate them through dietary means. In terms of diet, consuming more foods rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin E can speed up metabolism, gradually reducing the intensity of the red marks and also maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the localized skin area.

Can hidradenoma heal itself?

Syringomas are difficult to heal on their own. Syringomas are adenomas that arise from the differentiation of the distal ducts of small sweat glands, often occurring in young women, with puberty potentially worsening the condition. They are commonly symmetrically distributed around the eyelids, but can also appear on the forehead, neck, and chest. The lesions are skin-colored, pale yellow, or brownish-yellow, hemispherical or flat papules that are dense but do not fuse together. Generally, patients with syringomas do not experience any symptoms, and the course of the disease is chronic. Syringomas rarely regress on their own and are considered a type of benign tumor that generally does not require treatment. If necessary, physical therapy methods can be used for treatment.

Can syringoma be removed by laser?

Currently, the most common method for treating syringoma is using laser for direct removal. Syringoma is generally related to familial inheritance or local abnormal development of sweat ducts. Often eating spicy and stimulating foods, or using poor-quality eye creams or cosmetics can also lead to the occurrence of syringomas. The most common treatment still involves direct removal with a laser, followed by the application of medications to repair the wound. This helps prevent the condition from recurring. However, there is currently no way to completely eradicate syringomas to achieve a one-time, non-recurrent treatment. After treatment, it is advisable to exercise more and sweat more to increase the secretion of sweat. Avoid using poor-quality cosmetics topically to prevent clogging and recurrence of the condition, and strengthen your exercise regime to enhance immunity.
