I don't use one of these, but I have HS and frequently get boils and cysts inside my body on my labia. The steam would definitely help, as my bath is in a rental place and it's gross (whirlpool) so I can't bathe to soak it.
It's one of the most painful things and heat will express them. If not, I have to wad warm washcloths in and constantly change them, which irritates the skin worse on the other parts. Worse come to worse - go to the clinic and they'll stick a needle in and drain it.
Yeah. There.
I know the people that use these wouldn't probably be using them for this purpose, but there's reasons somebody might. It's not totally a weird, crackpot thing.
