A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I find that these ones are the worstttttt. I take baths, I put on ointment, I shower twice a day. I don’t know how to keep them at bay.

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!
