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: 1. Genetics: Family history can play a role in the development of syringomas. 2. Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during pregnancy or menopause, may contribute to the growth of syringomas. 3. 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: 1. 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. 2. Omega-3 fatty acids: Include sources of omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, walnuts, and chia seeds, to support skin health and reduce inflammation. 3. 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.
