SYRINGOMA

Syringoma is caused by the increased growth and working of eccrine (sweat) glands. And this increased activity may be due several different factors including anxiety, hypertension and different genetic disorders.

As syringoma is not harmful for one’s body, so no treatments are needed for this condition. But some people want to remove these bumps from their skin, because they find difficulty in applying cosmetics. Yet, syringoma is treated by two different methods:

1.    Physical excision:

Syringoma can be treated by taking oral medicine in the form of pills or using the lotions that are used to apply on your skin, that are prescribed by your doctor according to your skin conditions and symptoms. In order to reduce the presence of syringoma, mostly doctors prescribe tri-chloroacetic acid as used in acne treatment.  It can also be treated by removing them from skin using different surgical gadgets such as knives or blades. But these are not much effective than surgery.
