Suggest Treatment For Herpes

Posted on Thu, 12 Oct 2017

Question: I’ve always used Trojan condoms, but st the store they didn’t have any, so I used lifestyles skyn, and I believe it made me penis irritated, the shaft. It itches and burn. I’ve read about it and it’s said it uses polyisopherne which is free based and I am allergic to certain trees. How ever the irritation subsided and healed in 2 days. Has this ever happened

Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction can occur to different brand of condom

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic,

Yes, an allergic reaction can occur while using a different brand of condom. Different brands use different bases, lubricants, and enhancers. Since the irritation subsided nothing more needs to be done other than avoid using the Lifestyle brand.
