Hi, i've developed some bumps under my eyes which i believe is known as syringomas (from the pictures it looks like what i had under my eyes). I had already went to ask for consultant and was recommend to do laser to the area affected but only with one time laser to remove all. Anyone around me do face this problem as well?

Thanks if anyone could help.

Yup, i have the same problem, well at least i think i do, havent seen a dermatologist yet. Am still considering if i should have them removed. Been reading that laser may scar and even when you perform the procedure, it may still come back.

Btw, how much is the laser treatment anyway?

By the way, u might wanna check this out. Came across this while googling. Dont know if it works though.

maybe you should get something done. mine i just let it be and it spread and become huge skin colour flesh below my eye. I guess it started from milia seed but i'm not sure though but one thing i know is it is growing bigger day by day! yea, i read bout it too but i rather have a light scare than some flesh bump on it.

well, i went to one skin doc near my house and he charge me RM400 only. i went once to another famous doc in penang and it cost nearly 1k including small moles and pimples scar on my face. i didnt continue as it needs few more times of laser. and the acne scar on my face has not lighten too. in short, no diff before and after laser.

well.. i dare not try tho.. dont want to take the risk.

what procedure did you go thru? was it painful?

i went for laser once nia so far.. quite pain but still can bear with it tho.. now i try to go for facial first and ask the beautician try to extract the top layer first before proceeding with laser for the bump flesh part. because the top part still can be extract, look like milia seed on top of it.

kekekek, thanks! tomorrow must see dermatologist and get opinion. hope not too expensive, damn broke this month!

after u c let me know too.. wanna see what they say..
hm.. now end of the month d.. salary time..

Hi, doctor confirmed that my condition is syringoma. for smaller ones basically those that you can cover with make up, she recommends laser but anything bigger than that needs to be cut. If laser is done on the visible ones there is a high likelihood of scarring which would make it look worst.

She didnt quote me the price but she feels that it is perfectly natural and i should go back and carefully consider.

Still thinking if i should do it

By cutting? not laser? You're from KL is it?

oh.. you didnt ask for the price? hm.. I see.. did the doc say anything bout how it happens?

Yup cutting for bigger ones. Laser for the smaller fellas. The doctor's office is in kl but i'm from pj.

Doctor said that it is inherited, which is pretty much what i've read from the internet. Which is why there isnt a cure...yet...

i've never heard of cutting it yet.. how big is yours? is it that serious? i see..

Really? well, that's what i found from the net too and.. i told my mum about this but none of my family is having this..

Not that big actually, a bit bigger than this 0

She said if u laser, it might leave a crater when u cut you can cut it to be smooth ie same level as your normal skin.
