"Syringoma" and Plasma Fibroblast Treatment

What is a syringoma? A syringoma is an uncancerous, benign tumor brought on by overactive sweat glands. Syringomas are tiny papules, or firm bumps, that range in size. The papules normally develop in small groups and are: Skin toned, yellow, brown, and pastel pink. Syringoma clusters typically have an identical pattern on both sides of the body in the same spot.
