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.

Post-laser precautions for Syringoma

Syringoma is a type of benign proliferation. The most common current treatment is the direct use of lasers or ionization to completely remove it. After the procedure, shallow wounds might form on the treated area, so it's important to keep it dry and avoid getting it wet. During the scabbing period, it's best to avoid spicy and irritating foods, abstain from using cosmetics on the affected area, and wait until the scab has completely dried and fallen off; afterwards, the condition is generally considered resolved. However, syringoma can recur, so long-term dietary restrictions against spicy and irritating foods are advised. Avoid staying up late and experiencing anxiety or stress. After recovery, it's also recommended to enhance exercise and strengthen immunity. Be cautious with the use of cosmetics on the affected area, especially those that are greasy and likely to clog pores.

Can erythromycin ointment treat hidrocystomas around the eyes?

Syringoma is caused by localized growth and development of sweat glands, leading to a benign proliferation which is substantive rather than inflammatory. Therefore, erythromycin ointment is ineffective in treating syringoma. Currently, a common treatment for syringoma is to use laser ablation to remove the tumors. However, many patients may experience recurrence and require multiple treatments for complete removal. The occurrence of syringoma in some patients may be related to family genetics, which can lead to frequent recurrences that may be difficult to completely eliminate. Therefore, it is advisable to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle, avoid spicy and irritant foods, and avoid applying greasy cosmetics around the eyes, as these can block pores or sweat glands.

Why do syringomas keep increasing in number as they grow?

Syringoma, also known as tubular sweat gland adenoma, sudoriferous cystadenoma, or sudoriferous abscess, is a type of adenoma characterized by differentiation of the distal ducts of small sweat glands, forming a benign skin tumor. The exact cause is not clear, but it may be related to genetics. If syringomas become more numerous and grow larger, it may be necessary to consider an association with endocrine dysfunction. Syringomas can occur at any age, but are most common in young women, often worsening during puberty and frequently having a family history. The lesions are particularly prone to appear around the eyelids, especially the lower eyelids. These lesions are dense, flat papules, ranging from several to dozens or even hundreds in number. Typically, the lesions increase in size during the sweaty summer months and shrink during the colder winter months, generally presenting without significant symptoms.
