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.

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.

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.

Post-laser precautions for Syringoma

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.

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.
