Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Yes you can be allergic to toilet papers.
In fact it is one of the commonest thing causing allergy.

You can apply hydrocortisone lotion.
This is available over the counter and you will get relief with it.
Also take an anti histamine tablet like cetrizine.

Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
