It may, however, cause pain during intercourse due to friction between the sores and the vaginal wall, leading to sores breaking and bleeding, which results in pain.

It can be left untreated, but if treatment is desired, it is essential to consult a dermatologist at a reputable hospital. Wishing you good health!
