Condoms are considered one of the safest methods of contraception and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STIs). However, many people with sensitive skin are at high risk of being allergic to condoms.

If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction while using a condom, stop using the condom immediately and then replace it with another contraceptive method such as taking pills or using an IUD.

Latex allergy is an allergic reaction to substances in natural latex, which occurs when exposed to rubber gloves, condoms, etc. and causes a variety of symptoms. This allergic reaction occurs when a person's immune system reacts to a protein found in the latex of natural plants.
