Condom allergy?

Well when i first started having sex with my boyfriend everything was fine, but recently after we have had sex i have suffered with a slight irratation to my vagina.
I'm not sure what has been causing this but my guess condoms?
I know it can't be due to having too much sex as we don't have it too often...so im quite puzzled as to what it could be?
It hurts when i pee, and sometimes becomes quite itchy & hurts when i wipe myself after having a pee...can someone please give me an idea as to what might be causing this???????

Hello,
    First make an appointment with the dermatologist to confirm the latex allergy get what is called a patch test. Then if you do have a latex allergy go to the pharmacy. My daughter has extreme latex allergy she breaks out in hives (yes down there) If you do have latex allergy here are the options available 1 is the lamb skin( not really an option it looks and smells nasty) 2 is the polyurathane it is not stretchy like latex and can be uncomfortable for a well endowed guy if he wears magnums he better not try these as they will strangle his stuff LOL 3 use the latex and suffer a little irritation I too had a slight sensitivity to latex when i became sexually active but over time it got better. one thing i found that  helped was using plain water based k y jelly.   Just a warning the polly and lamb skin do not protect against pregnancy and std's like the latex so get on another form of birth control to be safe and get regular std tests as well

i would say that is a condom allergy. i had the same thing. sounds like what a have and thats a reaction/allergy to latex condoms!! i got quite sore and it was a burning/itchy feeling. especially after going to the toilet.
dont worry though, there are alot more condoms out there than latex ones.
so try buying some latex free condoms and see if that helps. if not see your doc! :)
