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.

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.

Are sweat gland tumors harmful to the body?

Syringoma is a type of benign proliferation related to poor local skin sweating, allergies, hormonal imbalances, and more. This condition poses no harm to one's health. Most commonly, it grows around the eyes, increasing with time and affecting the appearance. Upon detection of this condition, it is imperative to seek formal treatment at a dermatology clinic in a reputable hospital.

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.

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.

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.
