I have had an allergic reaction for the 2nd time to a condom with spermicide on it. It is not the allergy to latex. What can I do for the itching and sensitivty?

This is a fairly common problem as spermicides work by chemically killing the sperm. In most women this goes unnoticed, but in a small but significant percentage of women this leads to vaginal irritation and discomfort (especially when urinating after sex), as the vagina is a very sensitive organ. This irritation from spermicide will likely continue for the rest of your life, so if you are certain you have no STD or infection that might be the problem, your solutions are to use a spermicide and just deal with the discomfort afterwards, switch to using regular lubed condoms, or if you are in a long-term, committed, trusting relationship where STDs are not an issue, go on birth control and ditch the condoms altogether, it's a great feeling.
