Specializes in Pain Management

Condom allergy : This could be an allergy to the spermicides found in all condoms or to latex. Can try using a latex free condom. Many options are available which you can discuss with your doctor.

Dr A Freisleben-Cook and another doctor agreed

Keep using condoms: Please do not stop using condoms. The reason you stated is not a good reason to stop using condoms. Try a different brand.
