Laser Therapy for Treatment of Syringoma: Review Article

Abstract

Background: Often seen in a periocular distribution, syringomas are benign skin-adnexal tumours of eccrine origin that manifest as little dome-shaped papules and may affect the aesthetic look of the face. The neck, belly, or genitalia outside are all possible locations. There has been progress in the treatment of syringomas and other dermatological issues thanks to the development of laser technology in recent years. Many advancements in both technology and technique have been made in the treatment of syringoma using lasers since the first attempts were made. Objective: Review of the literature on Laser Therapy for Treatment of Syringoma. Methods: We looked for data on laser therapy and syringoma treatment in medical journals and databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. However, only the most recent or extensive study was taken into account between January 2000 and May 2021. References from related works were also evaluated by the writers. There are not enough resources to translate documents into languages other than English, hence those documents have been ignored. It was generally agreed that documents such as unpublished manuscripts, oral presentations, conference abstracts, and dissertations did not qualify as legitimate scientific study. Conclusion: Among ablative lasers, fractional laser modality has been shown to be the safest option. Despite its usefulness in combating Syringoma, the drug is not without side effects.
