Syringomas are difficult to heal on their own. Syringomas are adenomas that arise from the differentiation of the distal ducts of small sweat glands, often occurring in young women, with puberty potentially worsening the condition. They are commonly symmetrically distributed around the eyelids, but can also appear on the forehead, neck, and chest. The lesions are skin-colored, pale yellow, or brownish-yellow, hemispherical or flat papules that are dense but do not fuse together. Generally, patients with syringomas do not experience any symptoms, and the course of the disease is chronic. Syringomas rarely regress on their own and are considered a type of benign tumor that generally does not require treatment. If necessary, physical therapy methods can be used for treatment.

Why do syringomas keep increasing in number as they grow?

Syringoma, also known as tubular sweat gland adenoma, sudoriferous cystadenoma, or sudoriferous abscess, is a type of adenoma characterized by differentiation of the distal ducts of small sweat glands, forming a benign skin tumor. The exact cause is not clear, but it may be related to genetics. If syringomas become more numerous and grow larger, it may be necessary to consider an association with endocrine dysfunction. Syringomas can occur at any age, but are most common in young women, often worsening during puberty and frequently having a family history. The lesions are particularly prone to appear around the eyelids, especially the lower eyelids. These lesions are dense, flat papules, ranging from several to dozens or even hundreds in number. Typically, the lesions increase in size during the sweaty summer months and shrink during the colder winter months, generally presenting without significant symptoms.

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.

The difference between syringoma and flat warts

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.

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.
