Brief Answer:
Yes, it won't appear again if you stop using latex condoms.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, latex material can cause allergy in some patients.
So it is possible in your case to have latex allergy.
For acute allergic symptoms, you can take tablet Allegra M twice daily and apply momate cream thrice daily.
Once you stop latex condoms in future, allergies won't appear again.
