“…Even though they are considered peculiar, eruptive syringomas have been amply reported in the literature. 4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] On the other hand, syringomas on the genital area have rarely been found, although some sporadic cases have been reported, [23][24][25][26][27][28] especially in the vulvar region, frequently arising in young women after puberty with pruritus, exacerbating during menstruation. 28 It has been theorized that syringomas are at least partially under estrogen or progesterone hormonal influences, as they are more common in women and aggravate during pregnancy 25 and menstruation.…”

Syringomas are benign, eccrine, sweat gland tumors that clinically appear as small skin-colored or yellow papules. Eruptive syringomas are rare variants that typically develop on the body's cutaneous anterior surface. Syringomas on the genital area have rarely been reported, although several authors maintain that syringoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pubic pruritic papular dermatitis. We present a case of a 31-year-old man with multiple, eruptive, asymptomatic papules involving the pubic area developed after waxing of the zone. Histological examination revealed disseminated syringomata. We postulate that the lesions were induced by depilation with a subsequently reactive inflammatory process resulting in a hyperplastic reaction of the eccrine ducts. This case supports the previous hypothesis suggesting that some of the so-called "eruptive syringomas" may start as a primary inflammatory eccrine reaction.

“…10 They have been identified in many different ethnic groups including Asians of Chinese and Japanese ancestry, Italians, Ethiopians, African Americans, and in Caucasians. 1,9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Because they are persistent, usually present in multiplicity, and often occur on exposed sites, even though they are benign, they often pose significant cosmetic concerns for patients. Some, especially eruptive lesions, may be pruritic.…”

background. Eruptive syringomas are uncommon benign adnexal neoplasms. They are numerous and disseminated and often have a predilection for the neck, face, chest, and axillary fossae. Because they are persistent, usually numerous, and often on exposed sites, the lesions may be disfiguring and often pose significant cosmetic concerns for patients. Many treatment modalities such as dermabrasion, electrodesiccation with curettage, and scissors excision have been tried with some success, but more recently lasers have provided good to excellent results. objective. To describe an approach to the treatment of eruptive syringomas in an African American patient with a combination of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and CO 2 laser resurfacing, providing acceptable cosmetic results without significant side effects. methods. We describe an African American patient with eruptive syringomas of the face treated with a combination of TCA and CO 2 laser resurfacing with good results. results. While the syringomas were not completely ablated, the combination of TCA and CO 2 laser resurfacing provided acceptable cosmetic results without significant side effects. conclusion. The TCA pretreatment probably removed some of the bulk of the surface of the lesions, thereby reducing the number of laser passes required to flatten the remainder of the lesions and thus lessening the potential for thermal damage at the treated sites and of surrounding normal skin.

“…reported that sweat glands in the skin fold primarily maintain skin hydration, whereas those at ridges may be the key thermoregulators . Eruptive syringomas have also been reported to occur with their long axes parallel to the lines of cleavage . The inflamed ridges of sweat‐induced dermatitis have to be differentiated from other conditions that can produce linear and parallel patterns in the neck and clavicular area such as cutis punctata linearis colli, juxta‐clavicular beaded lines, disseminate and recurrent infundibulo‐folliculitis, and papular mucinosis …”
