Syringoma Treatment

Syringomas may be removed for cosmetic purposes. Electrodesiccation and curettage, laser surgery, and trichloroacetic acid may be used with variable success. Sharp dissection or scissor excision of lesions is easily performed under local anesthesia. All of these procedures can lead to scarring, so care and precision are warranted. In some patients, syringomas are too numerous to remove all lesions completely.
