Hi,
I can understand your concern for your symptoms, its a rare allergic reaction to proteins present in semen,
common symptoms are redness, swelling, pain, itching, and a burning sensation in the vaginal area if its localized or it can also affect whole body.
If you had this kind of experience post-sex, we can consider semen allergy.
Condom use can also help prevent semen allergy, by using the same method you can diagnose you have allergy to semen or not.
Take picture of your allergic area and try different methods of sex with condom and without, trying different types of condom eg non - latax with ky gel.
Get going with your life with semen allergy. By intravaginal desensitization and taking an antihistamine before having unprotected sex by taking a lot of risks. Some times antihistamine wont work.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
