Treatment options for various problems under my eyes. Syringoma, prominent blue vein, puffy eye bags, skin texture. (Photo)

March 8, 2015
Asked By:Sash123 in England, AR

I am 63, Hypothyroid & have under eye issues. I think the bumps are Syringoma, and multiply quite rapidly. I have a very prominent varicose type blue vein under my left eye, becoming more noticeable over the years. I have an appointment with a reputable laser clinic here in the UK to discuss possible treatments for the vein & Syringoma. Would this be the preferred method? I am worried about the possibility of the laser scarring or causing pigmentation. Could the laser tighten the skin? Thanks

Compression stocking after sclerotherapy?
Mitchel Goldman, MD says:

I feel strongly that properly fitted graduated compression stockings should be worn around the clock for the first week at least. This means 24/7, even while you shower. Two clinical studies that I published demonstrate that 7 days is ideal. The less time the stockings are worn the more likely...

A blue vein has appeared down the center of my nose. Why is this happening and is there any treatment?
Sabrina Fabi, MD says:
