Every time I go to get a check up at the gyno it seems I come home with a rash in my area! It is so raw and swollen that it hurts sometimes to sit!
I think it is either the "lube" they use or the moist wipes they have that I am allergic to... I want to know if anyone knows if either of those things are hypoallergenic as a standard....if they are what can I do? if not do they carry some that are?
I do plan to bring my own moist wipes that I know will not bother me,but am at a loss for what to do about their "lube" if it is already hypoallergenic.
I was just in March 19th and am getting over that allergic reaction but I am due back in April 3rd! Help!!!

I would say that if the rash starts within a half hour it would most likely be the gloves or even the powder on the gloves...Yes the lube they usually use is KY jelly and it is hypoallergenic.. are the wipes they using by chance babywipes? thats what dr.s here use.. You can test yourself very easily before you go in again by going to a pharmacy and asking to buy 1 reg powdered latex glove, 1 non powdered latex glove and 1 non latex glove. Wet the inside of your arm near your elbow and rub one glove there. Do this with the other gloves in different sensitive body spots. Make sure to write down what are has what glove on it and wait about an hour to see if you react.. take care......

Yikes! I have no idea if what is used is hypoallergenic but would assume it to be. You should call your doctor's office and ask them what brands they use so you'll know for the future. You should tell them about your reaction (and how many times it has happened) and make sure they have different brands on hand for your next visit. Feel better.

Sounds like you have a latex allergy. You should discuss this with your doctor asap.

Could be any off those, or the latex gloves.
TALK the them and let them know!!!!

You should get a second opinion.

I'd ask the gyno - that's why they're there!
