Latex Condom allergy causing bumps?


I lost my virginity a little while ago and the day after, I was really red, swollen and I had developed little bumps just on the inside walls of my vagina. The bumps scared me, so I went to a doctor and she said they looked like Genital Warts. But she was confused by them because warts usually take much longer then 1 day to incubate and show up. They are pretty small, in clusters and aren't growing. They were really itchy at first, but now aren't anymore (within a week).

My question is.... I know that latex condom or lubricant allergies can cause the redness and swelling, but has anyone heard of the allergy causing the little bumps? I am scared I might have warts, but seems weird they showed up so quickly.

Thanks!

One of the symptoms of a latex allergy is a rash at the site of contact with the skin. According to the website (see source) it can be quite severe. So the allergy definitely could have caused the bumps.
