red spots
Two weeks ago I broke up with some red spots. However I have shown no symptons of genital herpes. I think I may have an allergic reaction to latex condoms because I am currently sexually involved with my current girlfriend. Along with that, I went home and used a new wash deturgent. I was wondering if these red spots could be due to the condoms and deturgent, and was wondering if anyone could tell me what an allergic reaction to latex is like.

There are allergies, and then there are sensitivities.
If you were truly allergic to latex, you wouldn't be able to touch a latex condom, or have a doc touch you with latex gloves. A sensitivity can result in simple redness and irritation, or be more severe.
The thing is, any time you have unusal symptoms, you should get it checked.
