Treatments Your Physician May Prescribe
If the diagnosis of syringoma is suspected, the doctor may want to perform a skin biopsy.
The procedure involves:
Numbing the skin with an injectable anesthetic.
Sampling a small piece of skin by using a flexible razor blade, a scalpel, or a tiny cookie cutter (called a "punch biopsy"). If a punch biopsy is taken, a stitch (suture) or two may be placed and will need to be removed 6–14 days later.
Having the skin sample examined under the microscope by a specially trained physician (dermatopathologist).
If syringoma is diagnosed, no treatment is necessary because it is a benign condition. However, many people find syringomas cosmetically disturbing and want to have them removed.
Though there is a risk of scarring, destruction of syringomas is fairly simple and may include:
Burning (cauterization) with an electric needle
Cutting out (excision) with a scalpel, scissors, or flexible razor blade
Carbon dioxide laser treatment
Procedure to rub out the lesion (dermabrasion)
Freezing (cryosurgery) with liquid nitrogen
