A member asked:

What are the symptoms of an allergy to latex men's condoms in women?

Dr. Luis Matos answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Several types exist: You can develop immediate vaginal itching (contact urticaria), delayed blisters (contact dermatitis to latex or the chemical plasticizers), generalized hives/urticaria and in rare cases severe anaphylaxis. See an allergist to evaluate it further.
