Hi people
I’m suffering more and more, I have an generalised eruptive syringoma, and now its growing on all my body, and I have many of theme on my butt and they are a little painy.

I’m not very certain, but I doubt that a food is causing their appearance, because 1/2 h after eating I have many pruriginous and red spots and some of theme become syringoma, please help me, I don”t know what to do ! What are the foods that can make the syringoma worse ? Olive maybe, or milk, tomatoes, orange and lime ?

Hi shannon
You are a similar age to me and seem to have had a similar experience. I also noticed this condition seems to have a hereditary basis. If its any consolation I think boys are less likely to develop it. Could you let me know what treatment you decide to have? Also did your mum have the carbon laser and did it get rid of them completely for 2 years?

Hi Everyone -
I have had tiny tiny syringomas since I was about 20. They never really bothered me until earlier this April when I started gettting more, and larger ones, under my eyes. I am 36. My mom has them really bad and she had to have laser ablation. Hers came back a few years later, but the original treatment seemed to work for a while for her. I am now pregnant with our second son and I just hope and pray that I do not pass this ugly hereditaty trait onto them! It’s a self esteem killer for a woman or a man who has this. I am planning to go to my derm after my son is born for a consult and (hopefully) treatment. The bumps in my 20s were flat and you could not feel them. But now I have about 20 raised bumps that I can feel with my finger. Anyway, this condition sucks and I also cannot believe that no doctor has developed a way to completely remove them. They would make a MINT if they had! Thanks for reading this!

hi everyone. First off, I am very sorry to hear about all the suffering all of you guys are going through. I first started to get syringoma around two years ago. I have been doing a lot of research and have found that they get worse when I eat foods that are highly inflammatory (i.e. Foods high in sugar, white bread/rice). I have experimented eating different foods and when ever I eat a lot of highly inflammatory food my syringoma grow noticeably bigger. I know that everyone is different, but I just wanted to share with you guys just in case your syringomas are linked to inflammation like mine.

Hi zimo, when I first started developing these bumps I read a lot about syringomas and I remember reading that the weather plays a big part and warm weather could make them worse! But it is now winter here in england and I have seen absolutely no difference in these bumps at all, and if anything I have noticed that they have got a bit worse, so I’m now questioning whether the weather has anything to do with the occcurance. I also think maybe it is something that we are eating that may be causing them, a friend of mine who also has syringomas says she noticed them getting worse when she ate dairy products and she noticed them getting a bit better when she completely cut dairy out of her diet? So I’m trying not to eat anything with dairy in, its just so hard as you will be suprised how much food has dairy in! Do you think anything else may be causing these?

Katie…I’ve used retin A and No it does not work. Nothing like that will work for this unfortunately.

Hey people I suffer from Generalised Syringoma since 6 years, and I’m depressed, nothing worked, I’m a medicine student and I read that the syringoma may not be a true tumor but a inflamatory response to a thing but that thing isn’t clear.

So I’m doing researches, My syringomas papuls begins like acne, a small spot with red circle around, then they clear a bit, and remain a small brown papul, I have many on my neck, thorax, back, I’m very sad about it.

I think that a food can be the cause, I noticed that when I eat some types of food, I have then syringoma eruptions :

my suspicions turns around : Milk and tomtoes for now, please reply to this I need advices

Hi, I was just wondering if anybody has used retin A , I no this will never get rid of the syringomas I already have but I have heard it can give some control and maybe stop any new ones from forming? Let me know your thoughts!

Hi. I am sorry to hear that you are all struggling with syrignoma. I think I might have a very mild case of it as well. I just turned 19 and I recently started noticing tiny bumps around my eye area. Only two of these bumps really stick out but I don’t think anybody else notices them except me. My syrignoma is not a problem yet but I am really afraid that these bumps are going to get bigger and multiply. I am going to make an appointment with a dermatologist but I was wondering if anyone has a way to control their syrignoma to keep it from getting worse.

Hi shy

I would make a decision based on the outcome of the first treatment. I have heard that some of these spots need to be treated several times before you see a result.
