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.

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.

Does syringoma spread?

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.

The difference between syringoma and flat warts

Syringoma and flat warts have significant differences; they are entirely different diseases. Firstly, flat warts are caused by the human papillomavirus and are contagious, while syringoma is an adnexal tumor and is not contagious. Secondly, flat warts are not hereditary, whereas syringomas may have a certain hereditary aspect. Lastly, flat warts often occur on the backs of the hands, face, neck, and other widespread areas, while syringomas are commonly found around the eyes.

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.
