A member asked:

Can baby oil gel used during intercourse cause contact dermatitis near vagina? *i have sensitive skin & breaks out in hives often.

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Yes: Yes you can be allergic to one of the ingredients in baby oil gel although this is not common. You may also be allergic to semen - a more likely cause for your hives after sexual intercourse. And yes, you should consult an allergist to help you solve this problem.
