Has anyone gotten a vaginal rash after using nonoxyol 9 spermicide?

My husband and I used condoms with nonoxyol 9 spermicide on monday and I got a rash right after using them. It's been a few days and the rash hasn't subsided. It is very sore and I went to the doctor today and surprise surprise the doctors at the county hosp. were less than helpful. I ended up leaving with more questions than answers. So, I was wondering if anyone else has had an reaction to nonoxyol 9 spermicide and how long did your symptoms last. I have redness, burning, and itching. No foul odor or discharge. It really feels like a irritated rash. Can anyone give me some insite?

    It could definitely be an allergic reaction to the spermicide. It could also be a reaction to the latex. People can actually develop allergies to certain materials or substances after being exposed to them. My advice would be to try condoms without the spermicide, if it still irritates you then it is the latex. If Monday was the first time you tried the condoms with spermicide I'd almost guarantee you reacted to it.
