They need to be be replaced or the seals need to be replaced.
They get worse and like others have they will destroy the brake linings.
You can get wheel cylinder cups and hone the cylinder but sometimes for the price of the kit to the price of new cylinders it is cheaper to get new ones.
 
The brake fluid will start to immediately eat up your brake shoes (pads are for disks, shoes for drums). It's also flamable under heat. It's an easy repair, but should be done by a shop, it's gotta be honed out or replaced. C.
