I'm noticing these syringomas around my eyes, and it seems like they're spreading more. I'm getting a bit worried and was wondering if there's any specific food or cosmetics I should be avoiding. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Syringomas are benign growths that can appear around the eyes, and it's essential to manage them to prevent further spreading.
Causes and Triggers
While the exact cause of syringomas is unknown, some potential triggers and contributing factors include:
- Genetics: Family history can play a role in the development of syringomas.
- Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during pregnancy or menopause, may contribute to the growth of syringomas.
- Cosmetic products: Certain skincare or makeup products can clog pores and irritate the skin, potentially exacerbating syringomas.
Dietary Changes
While there is no specific "syringoma diet," incorporating the following foods and nutrients may help:
- Antioxidant-rich foods: Consume foods high in antioxidants, such as berries, leafy greens, and other fruits and vegetables, to help reduce inflammation and promote skin health.
- Omega-3 fatty acids: Include sources of omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, walnuts, and chia seeds, to support skin health and reduce inflammation.
- Vitamin A-rich foods: Foods rich in vitamin A, such as sweet potatoes, carrots, and dark leafy greens, can help promote skin health and reduce the appearance of syringomas.

View allI'm really concerned about my hair and nails. I've heard that taking vitamin E can help, but my nails are still brittle and my hair seems thin at the ends, even though I trim it regularly. Do you think vitamin E would actually improve these issues, or could there be something else going on?

I'm really concerned about my underarm situation. Since I stopped waxing, there's been a little improvement in the darkness, but I'm not sure what to do next. Should I consider chemical peels or laser treatments for the best results? Hydroquinone didn't work for me. I'm just worried because my dermatologist suggested chemical peels but didnt do any tests beforehand. Can peels make the darkness worse?
chemical peeling would definitely work but laser treatment would show better result,follow your doctors advise because treatment modality depends on intensity and area involved for darkness.

I've been noticing tiny pin pricks on my hand nails for the past month and I'm getting worried. Last December, I had a preventive blood test done and it showed I have a folic acid deficiency. Could this be causing the pricks? I'm also on Telsar 40 for my high blood pressure. I spend most of my time working in a corporate office, usually in an air-conditioned room. I'm really curious about what exactly might be causing this. Do you think it's something serious or just related to my deficiency?
The tiny pin pricks on your hand nails could be due to the folic acid deficiency you have. Folic acid deficiency can lead to changes in the nails, such as brittle or fragile nails with small depressions or tiny pin pricks. The exact cause of your folic acid deficiency could be related to inadequate dietary intake, poor absorption in the gut, or increased demand for folic acid in conditions like hypertension or due to medications like Telsar 40. To address the folic acid deficiency and improve the condition of your nails, you can consider taking a folic acid supplement such as Folvite 5mg once daily after consulting with your doctor. Additionally, make sure to consume a diet rich in folic acid, including green leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts, and fortified cereals. It's also important to continue monitoring your blood levels of folic acid and other essential nutrients regularly. If the pin pricks on your nails persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
