Suggest Treatment For Herpes

Posted on Thu, 12 Oct 2017

Question: I’ve always used Trojan condoms, but st the store they didn’t have any, so I used lifestyles skyn, and I believe it made me penis irritated, the shaft. It itches and burn. I’ve read about it and it’s said it uses polyisopherne which is free based and I am allergic to certain trees. How ever the irritation subsided and healed in 2 days. Has this ever happened

Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction can occur to different brand of condom

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic,

Yes, an allergic reaction can occur while using a different brand of condom. Different brands use different bases, lubricants, and enhancers. Since the irritation subsided nothing more needs to be done other than avoid using the Lifestyle brand.

Thanks for the follow up, the pimples popped and left small spots and healed in two days. I was just trying to make sure. From now on I won’t use lifestyles skyn non latex condoms. I’ll stick to trojans
