Answer: If you allergic to latex then only it will be reactive to your body skin. If you are allergic to latex your body treats latex as an allergen and sets off an allergic reaction. Latex allergies are most common in people who have regular exposure to latex products such as rubber gloves, catheters etc.
If your skin is red and itchy at the spot where you touched latex, or your nose gets stuffy and you sneeze, don't worry too much. Those symptoms are uncomfortable but not dangerous. Take an antihistamine or try a soothing lotion like calamine or a 1% hydrocortisone cream. Skip antihistamine creams or gels. They might make your skin feel worse. Symptoms can show up anywhere from 12-36 hours later. The redness and swelling may cover more parts of your body, and you may have crusty sores or blisters.
If you've had a severe reaction in the past, ask your doctor for more information.
