    I suffered with my groin since I was 6 so it’s just a part of me. With age I would say it’s massively improved.. 

    I do have scars but have faded quite well.. I was always embarrassed to be intimate with all my partner. 

    My husband has always been very supportive even to the point if I have a flare he look at them and support me. 

    Just be honest if they are genuine they wouldn’t care. 

    Good luck

    Yes, I was a bit ashamed of the scars and obviously during times of flare ups the massive abscesses on my groin area. Was a new relationship but my partner never really cared. Worked up about nothing.

      I should say never cared in the sense they were there. Very understanding of the situation however.
