I have a latex allergy.  It started when I was using latex gloves I got a rash on my palms that looked alot like poison ivy.  It is an allergy that can develop you aren't necessarily born with it.  Trojan/durex both make a non-latex condom.  I have never used latex, so I can't compare the two.  They are unfortunately more expensive and not available in the economy packs. At least at local drug stores.\n\nSome people get rashes from the spermicide in condoms so take that into account.  Definitely take care of it soon.  Latex allergies can worsen upon exposure.  Some people can get anaphellatic shock, and stop breathing.

You may have come in contact with something you may be allergic to. It could also be eczema or psoriasis.  It's best to let a professional diagnose you then us.

Your favorite brand of Latex. The question should be "What kind of lube?" Cause you WILL need it. \n\nAnd the answer to that question? Anything that says "Compatible with Latex Condoms" :)\n\nPS! Ignore the Wise Fool.

Latex naturally degrades with time... and it tends to form tiny defects which might not make it tear, but are certainly large enough for sperm to pass through.  If they are lubricated, the lubricant also has a shelf life.  Go pick up some new ones.

I would say either you are really really tired, or you have an allergy to something in your environment. Mine burn a lot when I am extremely tired.

Depends on your partner. Allergies and size. If you allergic to latex are spermicide and so on. If the guy is overly are under developed and so on. Experiment with different types until you find one that is right for you. I suggest Trojan with spermicide to start though.

I commend you for preparing for your appointment with the allergist.  Being an informed patient fosters communication with doctor(s) and helps you make informed choices about your treatment plan(s).  I hope the following information is helpful in getting you as healthy as possible.  \n\n\nFirst of all, here are some "basics" that were helpful for me to know:\n#1: A better term for "allergies" is "hypersensitivities".\n\n#2: Allergies are grouped by the kind of trigger, time of year, or where symptoms appear on the body. \n\n#3:  Types of Allergies: \na) Indoor (aka “Nasal” Allergies)\nb) Outdoor (aka “Hay Fever” and “Nasal” Allergies) \nc) Food & Drug \nd) Latex \ne) Insect\nf) Skin\ng) Eye\n  \n\n#4: There are two ways to test for hypersentivities*:\na. Skin \nb. Blood \n\n\n#5: Hypersensitivities/ Allergies change with time.  Yup, just because you are not allergic to something in the past doesn’t assure you will not develop hypersensitivity down the road.\n\n#6: Hypersensitivities/ Allergies can be managed.  There is/are no cure(s).\n\n#7: Treatment does not make you hypersensitive -/ allergen-free.  There is/are no cure(s).\n\n#8: Most allergists do NOT test for or help with food hypersensitivities.  \n\n\n\nSo, with all that in mind, it is IMPERATIVE to know WHY you and your primary care physician (PCP) need the expertise of an Allergy & Immunology specialist.  Is it because: \n#1: You have never been diagnosed or tested?\n\n#2: You and your doctor want to rule out food hypersensitivity?  \n\n#3: You and your doctor suspect a NEW hypersensensitivity to certain foods, pets, drugs, etc.?\n\n#4: A preexisting condition - asthma, environmental hypersensitivity, skin disorder, etc. – require medications such as epinephrine and/or other prescriptions?   \n\n\n\nOnce you’ve ascertained the reason why you are seeing an allergist, here are some questions you may want to ask the allergist BEFORE your appointment:\n#1: Do you test for food allergies?\n\n#2: Do you treat food allergies?\n\n#3: Do you view food hypersensitivity as seriously as environmental hypersensitivity?\n\n#4: (If the allergist does treat food allergies.)  Do you prescribe epinephrine for severe food reactions?\n\n#5. Is there anything I need to do with my medication(s) to prepare for my appointment? \n\n#6. Do you practice/ prescribe alternative treatment (aka Naturopathy***)? \n\n\n\nTo make the most out of doctor visits, it always a good idea to:\n#1. (Especially on your initial visit)\nProvide thorough information (past & present) related to your hypersensitivities/ allergies**.  \n\n#2:  Provide an accurate and detailed list of all prescribed and over-the-counter products (include vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements/ shakes, herbs, etc.) you are currently taking.\n\n#3.  Update your list every time you see a provider\n\n\n\nLastly, if you have additional questions or would like more information, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) now provides online access to an allergy specialist.

You need to call your doc and ask for a referral to an allergist.  The allergist will test you for all sorts of allergies at the same time.  They usually use the skin test not blood test to test for allergies.

If your eyes are itchy, you could be allergic to something.  If they get tired when you're reading or working on the computer, you may need stronger glasses or contacts.  Make an appointment with your eye doctor so he/she can determine for sure what the cause of your problems are and what to do about them.  Remember that using over-the-counter eye drops are only a temporary relief; they won't cure what's causing you to feel this way.
