Hello, I was wondering if anybody has asked their dermatologist or any dermatologist if HS is caused by apocrine sweat glands would removal of those help or eliminate symptoms?

I did hair laser and it did improve my thigh/groin HS.
I just use antibacterial soap. Hobiclenz tends to open it up more but makes me feel fresher in my groin.
