| Re: latex allergy leading to vaginal discomfort
Okay, the problem is most likely the hives messed your vulva up a little. It can heal, but treat it aggressively now. Rule #1: No chemicals on the vulva. No yeast infection treatments, if you really have a yeast infection, take the pills. No douches, spermicides, perfumes, or soaps of any kind. Wear only white cotton underwear washed in hot water, hypoallergenic detergent and rinsed twice, no bleach. These precautions are to remain in place for the rest of your life.
Find a doctor who understands this sort of thing, maybe a gynecologist, maybe a dermatologist, but someone who specializes in vulvar issues. The only thing you could put on it is maybe cortisone or benadryl or something, if a dermatologist or vulvar specialist recommends it.
Do not attempt to have intercourse until this is resolved. Please be creative in having sex without intercourse.
