Yes, it is possible. Latex allergies are not uncommon. They make condoms that are latex-free. They also make condoms without spermicidal lubricant.

Mostly every condoms in the market are made of latex rubber, and if a person is really allergic to condoms, it is possible that the cause of the problem of allergy came from the latex rubber.
