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.

The difference between syringoma and milia

Syringoma is a type of benign proliferation, mostly growing around the eyes, and can also appear on the vulva. This disease is related to poor local sweating, use of poor-quality cosmetics, and some are also linked with endocrine functions or emotional states and personal temperament. The most common treatment is to directly remove it using laser, usually one to two sessions can eradicate it completely. Milia typically appear as white, millet-sized granules on the face, related to the secretion from one's own epidermal sebaceous glands. The most common treatment involves directly removing them with a needle. These two conditions are quite different from each other.

How to treat hidrocystomas around the eyes?

Syringomas around the eyes are mostly related to one's endocrine system or local sweat gland activity in that area, and in some cases, may be due to genetic inheritance. Once this condition appears, the most common treatment method is to visit a dermatology department at a reputable hospital and have them removed with a laser. Common oral and topical medications are generally ineffective and should be avoided. To prevent recurrence after recovery, it is advised to avoid using makeup, particularly greasy eye creams or cosmetics around the eyes. Regular exercise, which promotes sweating, frequent bathing, maintaining a cheerful mood, avoiding spicy or irritating foods, and not staying up late are also recommended.

What is the best treatment for syringoma?

The most common treatment for syringoma is still to remove them directly with laser or ionization; there are no very effective drugs for this condition, and both oral and topical medications are essentially ineffective against syringoma. It is recommended to treat syringoma as soon as it is diagnosed, as it may grow larger and increase in number if left untreated. During treatment, it is important to exercise regularly, strengthen immunity, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, try not to stay up late, maintain a good mood, and avoid getting angry. After recovery, it is also important to pay long-term attention to diet and regular living habits to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, care should be taken to protect the local wound to prevent scarring.

The main treatment methods for syringoma include:

The primary treatment for syringoma currently is laser therapy. After local anesthesia is applied, the lesions can be removed directly with either an ion laser or a carbon dioxide laser. Generally, scarring does not easily occur unless one has a predisposition to scar. Currently, there are no highly effective oral or topical medications for treating this condition. The occurrence of this disease is mainly due to the growth and development of local sweat glands. Some cases are related to genetic factors, while others may be associated with endocrine issues or the regular use of cosmetics that block sweat pores. After treatment, it is crucial to maintain a proper diet and lifestyle habits, because syringomas have a relatively high recurrence rate and can be treated again with laser therapy if they reappear. One should avoid eating spicy, stimulating, or overly greasy foods, engage in more physical exercise, and refrain from indiscriminate use of cosmetics.
