QuestionHello, i know this maybe a strange question and embassing for me, but i am old lady an i take effexor for depression an panic disorder. my boy friend takes meds for bipoler an i have had bad hives since we have been having intercourse is it possible his medscine an mine could cause a reaction in my torso area like hives from reaction from valoroic acid, an simvastatin for him an effexor for me. I wondered if the could mix in my blood stream to cause a reaction as i am very bad to get bad reactions from meds. thank you an will look forward to your reply.
AnswerI wonder if your hives are related to condom use? Also, are your sure it's hives? Big welts, not pustular and super tender, right? It's way more likely that if it is hives it is related to the fabric softener he uses, a lubricant, a condom, or some kind of synthetic fabric he wears near his torso, but ask your doctor for sure.
