Syringoma

Overview

Syringoma are benign tumours due to the abnormal proliferation of sweat ducts in the skin.

Signs & Symptoms

They are flesh coloured papules, often located just below or around the eyes. A family history may be present. It may also appear on the eyelids.

Detection & Treatment

Syringomas may be treated with laser or electrocautery. The treatment will flatten the lesion but there is a risk of scarring and recurrence of the lesions following treatment.
