Teledermatology is the delivery of dermatologic health care to remote locations by means of telecommunications and information technology. It facilitates delivery of services by a dermatologist at a different time and place than the patient who receives them. Both real-time videoconferences and store-and-forward systems have proven to be highly reliable and accurate in teledermatologic diagnosis compared to traditional face-to-face diagnosis.

Clinical variants of syringomas include solitary, eruptive, milia-like, lichen planus-like, and plaque-type. What is your experience with topical retinoids to treat syringomas? View images

Dear Shahbaz,
I have never heard of them responding to topical retinoids.They are tumours rather than cysts due to duct blockage.I will do a PubMed search.
Best wishes
Ian.
