Only a medical professional can perform allergy tests and determine what, if anything, you're allergic to. Allergies can occur from spermicide on condoms, from soap, even from detergents used to wash washcloths and towels. Early symptoms of an STD may appear to be an allergic rash. You need to go to a doctor to get an accurate diagnosis.

Also, there are non latex condoms that can be safely used by people with latex allergies. Anyone who refuses to use condoms due to an allergy is simply being irresponsible for their health and the health of their partners.

Answer

As well, if you have a latex allergy you would be allergic to all latex not just latex condoms.

The symptoms of a genital latex allergy can range from mild skin irritation, itching, cough, watery eyes, sneezing, to runny nose. More severe genital latex allergies can lead to anaphylactic shock.

Answer 3

The symptoms of being allergic to latex are itching, rash in the area where you are touched with latex, such as any area a doctor touches while wearing latex gloves or any area touched by a latex balloon, and sneezing, itching of the nose, runny eyes, the same as any other allergy. If you are allergic to latex, you should consult a doctor, because there is a possibility of an extreme reaction called anaphylactic shock. Many people who have Spina Bifida are allergic to latex, but there are some people who are allergic to latex who do not have Spina Bifida. If you are allergic to latex you should always tell a doctor if you see a doctor, so he or she won't put on latex gloves, but will use non-latex gloves. You should also let your doctor know if you have a latex allergy before any surgery so non-latex products can be used. Many hospitals use non-latex products anyway, but not all do. Also if you have a latex allergy you should never touch latex (rubber) balloons, nor be in a room with them if it is possible to avoid.
