Changed my name.....
Is anyone allergic to condoms?
Some background
After my first pregancy I develop mild allergies to a variety of fruits: strawberries, bananas, kiwis, lemons, etc. My tongue gets really sore. Doctor thought I had 'geographic tongue' - which is honestly a real condition . This has been going on for about 4 years now and I just accept it.
However, in the last year, we have been using condoms for a variety of reasons. I have never used condoms much in the past. had only a couple of long term relationships where we used condoms to start with then went on the pill. For brief flings, used condoms.
When I met DH, we used condoms and I developed a bizarre fanjo problem. Both got tested at the clinic - nothing wrong with either of us. It has flared up from time to time.
Anyway - back to the story. Since we started using condoms again in the last year, the fanjo problem keeps coming back but has been more thrush-like but without the cottage cheese gunkiness. Not been having sex much until recently so did not really connect the two.
But now that things are getting back on track in that department I am starting to make a connectiom.
This morning, I am in agony. Itchy, swollen and red.
Took the kids' piriton medicine an hour ago and it is beginning to subside.
What to do?
BTW it isn't UCM
