Suggest Home Remedy For Allergic Reaction In Vagina For Latex Condom
I discovered a few months ago that I was allergic to latex by using a latex condom during sex, and the entire area around my vagina was blistering and sore for about two weeks. But the blisters have since cleared up and the area is still itchy and painful. There are little red bumps along the space where my legs meet my labia that feel waxy and dry to the touch. It constantly hurts and itches. I have tried applying a very small amount of unscented lotion and I always take care to wash well. At first I thought it was razor burn, but when I stopped shaving for a few weeks the problem persisted. I m hoping there s a nonprescription way to take care of this at home.
Hi, Itseems that you might be having allergic reaction to latex condom producing this symptoms. Due to severe itching om the part there might be having some bacterial infection as well. Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl for few days. Wash the part with running water and apply triple action cream locally. Possibility of having fungal infection is likely as well. If require go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days. Avoid use of lotion or duo locally. Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy. Ok and take care.
