Syringoma and flat warts are two completely different diseases with significant differences. First, syringoma is a type of hamartoma and belongs to tumors, while flat warts are skin diseases caused by viral infections. Secondly, syringomas often appear symmetrically, primarily around the eyes or on the forehead, and are accompanied by itching symptoms. On the other hand, flat warts usually do not have a symmetrical distribution; they are scattered or densely distributed, and generally do not exhibit itching symptoms.

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.

How to remove the red marks left by syringoma

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.

The main treatment methods for syringoma include:

The primary treatment for syringoma currently is laser therapy. After local anesthesia is applied, the lesions can be removed directly with either an ion laser or a carbon dioxide laser. Generally, scarring does not easily occur unless one has a predisposition to scar. Currently, there are no highly effective oral or topical medications for treating this condition. The occurrence of this disease is mainly due to the growth and development of local sweat glands. Some cases are related to genetic factors, while others may be associated with endocrine issues or the regular use of cosmetics that block sweat pores. After treatment, it is crucial to maintain a proper diet and lifestyle habits, because syringomas have a relatively high recurrence rate and can be treated again with laser therapy if they reappear. One should avoid eating spicy, stimulating, or overly greasy foods, engage in more physical exercise, and refrain from indiscriminate use of cosmetics.

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 most common treatment is laser removal; most people can effectively eliminate it after one or two sessions. After recovery, it is crucial to maintain a long-term standardized diet and lifestyle, avoid spicy and irritating foods, refrain from staying up late, avoid using random cosmetics on the affected area, regularly exercise, and enhance immunity, all of which are beneficial in preventing recurrence.
