What Causes Allergy In Condoms?
I am allergic to some common condom ingredient, but haven t determined which one yet. It isn t latex, and it isn t N-9, based on the fact that I have the same painful allergic reaction to Skyn condoms (Lifestyles product), which are non-latex condoms without spermicide. My symptoms include redness, itchiness, dryness and lesions of the labia. Symptoms appeared within an hour of product use during sexual contact. What else in condoms might I be allergic to?

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
It may be due to polymer used in condoms.
Please use latex condoms and try that it happened or not.
You can also use other method of contraception like copper-T or pills.
For allergy, take tablet levocetirizine 5 mg twice ad day for 3-5 days.
You can also use oils.
Please consult your dermatologist if problem persist.
Hope this will helpful to you.
Take care....
