You could be allergic to latex which is what most condoms are made of. Try ones made of polyurethene. They are more expensive but ideal for those allergic to latex. Lambskin condoms are ok but not as effective as latex and polyurethene, they would be my last choice.
You can also try a sponge (otc) or be fitted for a diaphram as a backup.

You most likely have a latex allergy. I don't know if it's possible to get condoms that are made without latex, but that might clear up your problem. You could also try the spermicidal foam without a condom and see if that sets you off, too. You could try it first by putting a little on yourself and see if it makes you itch. If it doesn't, it's almost as effective as a condom as long as you follow directions.

It could be the latex. I am allergic to latex condoms and they caused soreness, intense itching, and often, yeast infections. Try using a brand of condoms that doesn't use latex. I believe Durex has some good alterative material ones.
Good luck!

It sounds like a latex allergy. Try using condoms without latex.

might be a laytex allergy. I'm on the pill and have read that if you are using an antibotic than you must take extra precaution..but if you are not on any kind of other medication thats says may interreact with birthcontrol then i think you would be fine.

sounds like a plain latex sensitivity/allergy to me. Try lambskin ON TOP of regular latex condoms. (Lambskin is not nearly as effective as latex so shouldn't be used as a sole protectant.)
