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.

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.

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.

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 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.
