Question by Negi S: Can you tell if you are allergic to latex with gloves?
I have very sensitive skin but have never had a strange reaction to latex gloves or other latex products that I can recall. Would condoms be different?

nope, you’d be able to tell with gloves

there’s a 50/50 chance condoms can give you a reaction. you’ll get a red rash, maybe itchy it depends. it can also go a bit yuck and may blister. depends where it is. you could probably use a glove or go to the doctor
Don’t think so; if you’ve worn latex gloves with no reaction, you’re almost 100% sure that condoms won’t be a problem. If they are, it’s possible to get condoms that are made from polyurethane instead of latex. (There are also “natural” condoms made of lambskin, but those are expensive, and the material is porous enough that it doesn’t protect against transmission of STD’s, but it will prevent pregnancy.)
