How can you test if i am allergic or sensitive to spermicide?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy patch test: Make an appointment to see an allergist and bring the spermicide as well as any barrier methods typically used for contraception. An allergist can review the ingredients and check for latex allergy. After hearing your health history, the course of the symptoms, there is scratch and patch allergy testing available to identify the offending agent. Also, this may lead to recommended agents.
