Hi doctor,
After sex, my girlfriend's face, chest and legs burn and itch. What is the cause? And what can we do for it?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Is this the first time this has happened or every time?
- Are there any rashes or just itching?
Kindly revert back with the details to a dermatologist online --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/dermatologist
Hello doctor,
No, it happens just about every time and there is redness present. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
There can be multiple causes to this problem. A detailed history will rule out the cause.
- Vibratory urticaria: Due to the movements during sex.
- Cholinergic urticaria : Due to heat generated during sexual activity. Such people also have hives after heavy exercise.
- Allergy to semen or latex in the condom: Again this is something you can rule out with history.
- You can get her tested for any allergy and get tests done accordingly to confirm the diagnosis.
- For now, you can get her started on a combination of tablet Ranitidine and Loratadine daily to avoid another episode of the same.
