There are now polyurethane condoms on the market and these are in most drug stores alongside the latex ones. Durex makes some called "Avanti" and Trojan makes some called "Supra."
Sheepskin condoms are not effective against STD's but polyurethane condoms are just as effective as latex ones against STD's and pregnancy.
You can also buy polyurethane condoms over the internet and have them shipped to your home.

There are polyerithane condoms made by Durex and Trojan that you can buy if you have a sensitivity to latex. Also, since you are worried about a latex allergy, you should see your doctor just to have to confirmed. You'll get an allergy test done. It's common to have this allergy. My sister has it too!
Oh, and if you are not sure it's the latex or find out that you don't have a latex allergy, it might be the spermicide. Have you tried spermicide free condoms? Sometimes the spermicide causes women to have a reaction.

There are tons of non latex condoms. Read the box and it will tell you if it contains latex or not. You can also do a search for latex free condoms on the web to see what brands offer latex free condoms.

Polyurethane condoms can be used by those with latex allergies. The modern lambskin condom is reknowned for it's natural feel and sensitivity but is not recommended to prevent disease. The pores in the lambskin material are far too porous to stop the tiny HIV virus.

They make sheepskin ones. They are more confortable for the fellows from what I hear - but they do not protect from all diseases. They also make a third option - I dont remember the name of the material, but one brand of them is Avanti. They are Latex free. Google them.
They are a bit more expensive than latex, but really, what are your options :)
Good Luck
