Syringoma is a type of benign tumor that originates from sweat glands, commonly found around the eyes, and predominantly seen in adult women, especially those over 40 years old. Generally, it is asymptomatic. Syringomas do not disappear on their own and require physical treatment methods for removal. This condition does not affect health, but for cosmetic reasons, removal can be accomplished using laser methods. Histopathologically, the distal sweat ducts exhibit tadpole-like changes. It is important to avoid picking or squeezing them, as using medications is ineffective; only physical treatment measures can facilitate their removal.

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.

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.

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.
