Irritated after sex- forgotten Latex allergy!?


I had sex with my boyfriend last night for the first time. It didn't cause me any pain at the time, but after waking up this morning, I am very swollen and itchy down there.

I've never been sexually active before so this isn't something that I've dealt with in the past. However I just started to remember....when I was 12 yrs old, I went to the allergist and had a full test of everything that I'm allergic to, and latex was one of them. Unfortunately I forgot about that last night before my boyfriend put a latex condom on.

What can I do to make this swelling and itching go away? It's incredibly uncomfortable! Are there any creams or drugstore products that I could purchase to remedy this?

I am so appreciative of everyone who's been answering! I've taken some Benadryl now and it is definitely relieving some of my pain. Unfortunately I'm still really swollen and red.

Awwww, I'm allergic to latex too and that SUCKS!! :P

First of all, let me tell you that Trojan makes polyurethane condoms called Supras. They are just as safe as latex and look almost the same - but they are thinner, they transfer heat, and they do not smell AT ALL! I love them. So now that latex condoms are out, look for Trojan Supras! Most drugstores carry them in the normal condom section (lol).

And you can always take some Benadryl... take a cool shower and wash yourself down there to relieve the itching and swelling.. but definitely take Benadryl!!!

I'm so sorry, you must be so uncomfortable right now.

You can buy vaginal creams at the drugstore, they're normally used for yeast infections but they work well for that kind of allergy.

Benadryl should work, but read the packaging and possibly talk to a pharmacist to make sure that applying it to the inside of the vagina is safe.

If its an allergy, try benadryl

Take some Benedryl.

go to the docotor.
get a girl docotor.
its more confortable.
i had a guy doc. hes eww
just get a girl

This actually happend to me too! Just wait it out. It will go away. It took mine about two days. Just for future references, try to buy the lamb skin ones at the store, they're more expensive, but hey, you won't swell up. Also, a lot of "rubbing" on eachother could cause it too. If it itches really bad, go to the girl's section, buy the tampons and condoms and there should be a vagisil box. It is made for itching. :)

I got that same problem...try vagisil or yeast infection medications. Next time try non-latex condom, or a contraceptive foam, or a sponge.

GET SOME ANTIHISTAMINE CREAM AND TAKE PIRITON

for the future, Trojan makes Supras which are non latex, and Durex makes Avanti.

Right now, shower, take a Benadryl and a nap, the medication will make you sleepy!

Hope this helps
