I am sufferfing from Hidradenitis Suppurativa for half a year. I have heard about MiraDry which kills the sweat glands, and hair follicles using microwave power. I think I have sinus tracts by the disease (i can touch under the skin but no any pus coming from). My left armpit is affected with the disease.
