Syringoma is a type of benign proliferation. The most common current treatment is the direct use of lasers or ionization to completely remove it. After the procedure, shallow wounds might form on the treated area, so it's important to keep it dry and avoid getting it wet. During the scabbing period, it's best to avoid spicy and irritating foods, abstain from using cosmetics on the affected area, and wait until the scab has completely dried and fallen off; afterwards, the condition is generally considered resolved. However, syringoma can recur, so long-term dietary restrictions against spicy and irritating foods are advised. Avoid staying up late and experiencing anxiety or stress. After recovery, it's also recommended to enhance exercise and strengthen immunity. Be cautious with the use of cosmetics on the affected area, especially those that are greasy and likely to clog pores.

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.

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.

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.

Post-laser treatment care for syringoma

Syringoma is a type of benign proliferation that mostly occurs around the eyes. After treatment with laser surgery, it is important to prevent recurrence of the condition. Avoid spicy and irritating food, try not to stay up late, and avoid anxiety and stress. Do not use cosmetics around the eyes indiscriminately, especially eye creams or greasy cosmetics, as they can easily lead to recurrence of the condition. After the laser treatment, the local wound mostly heals gradually within about a week. If swelling and redness persist, it may be appropriate to take oral and topical anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, applying ice can help reduce the swelling more quickly. It is crucial to maintain a proper diet and lifestyle habits to prevent the recurrence of the condition.
