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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Can applying garlic treat syringoma?

Applying garlic cannot achieve the purpose of treating syringoma. First, it is important to understand what syringoma is. Syringoma is a disease that occurs due to the development of small sweat gland ducts within the epidermis. It is generally considered a benign tumor that does not turn malignant and can be left untreated. This disease can persist for a long time after manifestation, as it is a chronic condition. Thus, even if you attempt to treat it, complete eradication is not feasible. Local applications of home remedies like garlic or ginger juice are ineffective, and the same applies for regular ointments. Currently, the best method of treatment is using carbon dioxide laser. The method of applying garlic lacks scientific basis and does not achieve therapeutic effects.
