well, it's possible to be allergic to anything.... but, if you're getting a strange rash in that area, I would suspect something other than a sperm allergy.

We'll first of all, if you have any doubts at all you should automatically go see a doctor.  She likely only has an allergy if she is having a reaction.  Swelling of the area, pain and itch are most common symptoms.  I am allergic to caterpillars myself (but oddly enough not butterflys). If she was poisoned she would probably have very severe symptoms by now.  Wouldn't hurt to take her to a walk-in clinic. \n\nDepending on where you are the caterpillar might be an "Acharia stimulea", commonly referred to as a saddleback.  I don't believe they're any more dangerous than a common wasp or bee.\n\nHope this helps.

It could be allergies.

That's called an allergy.  You know, like seasonal allergies or being allergic to shellfish.  The body just gets confused sometimes.

no i havent. I'd get it checked out asap, something else is probably causing it. See if yer mom has had problems with hers, it could run in the family.

How long has she been home from the hospital? Has her diet changed at all-any medications?\n\nHives are usually a symptom of something going on internally like a food/medication allergy. They are not like a regular rash.\n\nTake a close look at anything that's changed since baby's birth.\n\nAlso, remember that her hormones are going crazy right now as her body adjusts to not being pregnant. She may be having night sweats and what you think are hives may actually be rash. I had something similar after my last baby was born and it went away after a week or two. \n\nAs long as she's breathing okay and not running a fever (not feeling sick) she's probably okay BUT you should call the hospital that your baby was born at and ask to talk to one of the nurses or the on-call doctor if you can't reach your wife's O.B.

Sounds an awful lot like an allergic reaction to something eaten or introduced into the immediate environment.  If Benadryl or a similar antihistimine relieves the problem, I think he's got some kind of allergy to trace down with a specialist.\n\nIf it happens at roughly the same 3 times each year, perhaps an investigation into what allergens he might be exposed to (something in bloom?) is in order.\n\nBest to you both.

I would suggest she goes to the doctor-it sounds just like the pain I'm having and my ankle is fractured.And it can mess with your circulation  which can cause the dry skin.Have her go-like NOW.

i don't know where to begin....my mother in-law ate the top of my wedding cake while my husband and i were on our honeymoon, therefore we did not even have a piece to save in the freezer for our first anniversary, the wedding cake was a gift from my husbands aunt (so my mother in-law never even paid for it, which would have made it a little more understanding) also, right before we got married and i was trying on my dress she made the comment that my husbands first wife was busty and could not have fit her chest in a dress like mine. she also made the comment that if my husband and his ex were still together they'd have another baby by now..... the list continues on... i swear that woman needs to stick a foot in her mouth.

Sounds like either your kid has horriffic allergy problems or is suffering from spoiled brat syndrome... or one other, much worse possibility.  If it's the former, your doctor should be more careful about testing kids.  If allergies are the case, then your child should have more than an emotional response to eating vegetable, like breaking out in hives or pain.\n\nIf not allergies and your discription is correct, please watch Nanny 911.  You child may be spoiled because you cave in to his demands.  At some point, almost every child engages in a battle of wills with their parents for household control.  If the parents win, peace.  If the child wins, hell on earth.  Spoil the child, ruin his life.  If you care, you must win through persistence and patience (these will be repeatedly tested!!) in order for your child to function in a society.  Otherwise, expect to visit your kid in jail or a homeless shelter later (or support them until you die).  More immediately, a spoiled child may suffer from obesity and severe constipation if you both continue on this path (not to mention your own headaches!).\n\nNow the really dark stuff.  Has your child been molested or otherwise abused?  If this sort of acting out is not characteristic of your child, then you might want to (carefully, not giving the kid any great ideas about how to make your life more miserable in the battle for household control) check this out - particularly if a spouse or another significant other spends a great deal of alone time with the kid.  Kids don't know how to tell you this stuff (let alone most adults!), but acting out is usually symptomatic of something going wrong.  If you are the person abusing, then I have no sympathy for you.  Hell hath no fury as the hatred of your own children.

It sounds like it could be eczema or possibly a contact dermatitis..an skin contact allergy. Eliminate all soaps and facial applications of any kind for a few days, try using just tepid water for washing, and just do gentle patting, no scrubbing. If there is a new product she has been trying for her face, stop using it for sure. Slowly add back her usual facial products, like face soap, cream, make up etc...if flare happens again, you can probably safely say it's an allergen. BUT, asking to see a Dermatologist may not be a bad idea.

Allergy to something.

Take her to the dermatologist to get an allergy screening done. It could be anything from pet dander to cottonwood to dead bugs.

It isn't really possible to have a true allergy to those things because they are just hormones...your body already has these hormones.  What sounds like might be happening is when you have an increased level of hormones (when you took depo, bc pills and had your baby) your body reacted to it by getting hives.  I might go see an endocrinologist, which is a doctor that specializes in hormones.  You could go see an allergist too.
