You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Syringoma is a non-cancerous (benign) bump, usually found on the upper cheeks and lower eyelids of young adults. Syringomas are completely harmless and are caused by the overgrowth of cells from sweat glands (eccrine glands).

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

Syringoma is a benign condition, which is more genetic than systemic. Cosmetic surgery is the most common procedure taken for syringoma, but it always elective. The idea would be to completely excise the lesions with a surgical laser...

Sometimes leaving it alone is the best way to deal with it. If not, it might be removed by burning, freezing, cutting, laser, or rubbing. Ask a doctor if this is of more than theoretical interest.
