if you are allergic to the latex, what would the hives look like that are "down there"?

Yes, latex is a fairly common allergy. When people donate blood they are always asked if they are allergic to latex because of the gloves. If you think you have a latex allergy, you can purchase special latex-free condoms (NOT lambskin because those just don't work!) If you have broken out like you described, go to the doctor because (s)he can prescribe something to curb the reaction if that's what it is, or determine what it is if it isn't a reaction to latex.

Yes, it is possible to be allergic to latex. The best way to find out if you're allergic (and the sores are not from an STD) is to go to a doctor and get tested.

Yes, you can be allergic to anything....i would go and see a doctor, who will do tests to see if you are allergic, am sure you can get condons that are made differently (not from latex), but am not sure, but the doctor will tell you. Go and get it checked best to be safe than sorry.
Good luck

Absolutely, but also check into the lubricants on the condom. I'm ridiculously allergic to spermicidal lubricants. If you've never had a problem at the doctor before (with the gloves I mean), you may want to look into the type of condoms you use and even STDs.

You can be allergic to latex. Some people use lamb skin condoms, but they are supposed to be not as good.
