Redness And Blisters After Using Condom, Used Cortisone And Zinc Cream In Combination. Cause?
Hi I've had std tests that came back negative. I had redness and a few blisters that appeared 1 hour after using a condom so I'm assuming I've developed an allergy to latex. I've used cortisone and a zinc cream in combination but experienced a little burning in the tip when I urinated this morning. Could this have been caused from the creams getting inside?

Allergy to latex is a possibility.little burning may be due to the cream.Just discontinue and see what happens to your symptoms.It should go away on its own.If you get the same symptoms again, when you use latex condom bext time it is more or less certain you are allergic to latex.Was your condom plain or medicated/lubricated?
