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.

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.

Is syringoma related to sweating?

Syringoma has little to do with sweating. Syringoma, also known as eccrine acrospiroma or eccrine hidrocystoma, is a type of small sweat gland tumor that differentiates towards sweat ducts. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. During sweating, due to obstructed sweat flow, the syringoma, or the tumor mass, may increase in size. If syringoma appears, it may not require treatment. If it is considered cosmetically undesirable, treatment options include using carbon dioxide laser or cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen. With the occurrence of syringoma, it is advisable to avoid consuming excessively greasy foods and spicy, irritating foods in the diet. While syringoma is not significantly related to sweating, it is somewhat associated with frequent staying up late and irregular life routines.

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.

Can syringomas on the neck be removed?

Syringoma is a type of local benign proliferation, mostly related to the local sweat gland growth, familial genetics, or endocrine factors. Generally, this condition does not heal by itself and requires treatment. Currently, the most common method of treatment for this condition is the use of lasers to remove the tumors. After removing the tumors, anti-inflammatory creams are applied to the area, which should gradually lead to recovery. However, some patients may experience a recurrence after some time and will need laser treatment once again. It is advisable to avoid applying greasy cosmetics locally as these may cause the condition to repeatedly flare up. Sufferers should maintain good long-term health by regularly exercising, enhancing immunity, consuming more vegetables and fruits, and avoiding excessively flavored foods.

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.
