Yes: That sounds like a latex allergy. There are alternatives available in large drug stores like Walgreens & CVS or you can get online. A widely available brand is Lifestyles Skyn.

Yes likely: It is very likely you do. Use benedryl. It is over the counter. And use non latex condoms. If you wish to confirm your allergy. .. see allergist or use a latex glove on one hand for 10 min. Be prepared with benedryl to treat if rash occurs. You could also be allergic to the preservatives or the spermacide in condoms.
