Strong Armpit Odor Surprisingly Not Bacteria Related Can Miradry Help?
Hi. I know it's my appocrine glands giving me problems but unlike most people with this issue I don't sweat. Also I feel my problem isn't bacteria related since antibacterial agents like alcohol, antibacterial soap ,peroxide , prescribed antibiotic creams or tea tree oil doesnt nuetralize the odor. I used to smell 1 hr out of the tub but since I received electrolysis hair removal it's about 3 now . The odor is oniony and nothing works same problem in the groin. Would miradry be able to help??

Miradry procedures work well for excessive sweating
The miraDry procedure helps eliminate odor related to sweat, which is also known as bromhidrosis.

MiraDry works for odor in the armpits

Miradry for bromhidrosis
MiraDry is FDA approved for underarm hyperhidrosis. Patients who have had miraDry note that associated bromhidrosis is also improved after this procedure.

I have seen both hyerhidrosis improve and bromhidrosis improve after this procedure.
