29 years old, male - Do I have Syringoma or Milia under my eyes? How do I get rid of it or make it smaller? (Photo)

Question

I've been getting tired of these dots under my eyes for a long time. 2-3 single ones popped up when I turned 20, and now I'm approaching 30 and they have definitely appeared more. If it's milia, then treatment shouldn't be difficult. However, I am concerned that it is Syringoma - what in this situation? How do I get rid of it or make it smaller? I'm 29, male.

Hello @ryansimmons thank you for your question. This is a procedure that can be performed by a dermatologist with high-tech equipment, which is a laser specialized in burning them. It is a nonsurgical treatment that can help improve your condition and if they appear more. Gradually, you can have them removed without surgery. I would encourage you to speak to a qualified specialist for more information and recommendations. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
