A member asked:

Painful pee, vulva burning sensation for 10 days caused by latex allergy from rubber glove after pap smear. what's the cure? how long will it last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Latex & itchy bottom: If your symptoms are related to latex exposure you probably have a contact dermatitis rather than ige mediated latex allergy. Generally these reactions last 10-14 days. Topical steroids can be of some help, but need to be used with caution in the vulvar ares. Oral steroids are helpful early on to shorten course, but do have systemic risks. Antihistamines minimally help the itch. See allergist.
