Yes, several members on myHSteam have shared challenges with lesions on or around the vulva, including the labia. These lesions significantly impact their desire for intimacy due to pain, embarrassment, and the physical appearance of the lesions. One member mentioned having a large, painful lump on the vagina, which has made them no longer wish to be intimate. Another expressed the pain from a large lump on the outside of the vagina, leading to a desire to avoid sexual activity. These experiences highlight how HS can affect sexual health and mental well-being.

I have! And on the vagina. My husband was always very good about my H.S. flair ups. He never wanted to cause me anymore pain.
These are embarrassing and really take a toll on your intimacy. We were married 30 years and he was always so understanding and the scars
Never bothered him. He was one of a kind. Cause I know if I could smell them leaking so could he!
