Excessive redness and swelling on the skin usually at the point of contact is a common symptom of rubber allergy. The redness may also spread beyond the point of contact, suggesting a severe reaction.
Another common sign includes itchy skin caused by contact dermatitis, an allergic reaction to rubber. This leads to an itchy rash which may also include bumps or blisters.
In severe rubber allergy cases, the individuals might have difficulty breathing. This happens as the body's immune system reacts violently, causing swelling in the airways.
Watery eyes are not an uncommon symptom for those with rubber allergy as the body might respond to the allergens by producing more tears than usual.
Rubber allergy might also lead to the person experiencing nasal symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. These symptoms occur as the body tries to rid itself of the allergens.
Rubber allergy can also cause hives or a skin rash, which are inflamed, itchy, red welts on the skin. They can appear anywhere on the body and may last for hours or even weeks.

Identifying Symptoms of a Rubber Allergy
Confirming Rubber Allergy with a Skin Test:
To confirm that your symptoms are caused by a rubber allergy, you may undergo a patch test. Skin patch tests are a procedure where the skin is exposed to potential allergens to observe the reaction. You would be tested with a range of allergens including rubber. If you develop a rash or hives where the rubber was applied, it would indicate a rubber allergy.
Tracking Allergy Reactions:
Keep a record of your symptoms, noting when they come about and what you were doing before they started. This can help you identify the activities or products that may be triggering your rubber allergy.
Consulting a Doctor:
If you suspect you are allergic to rubber, it is best to consult a healthcare professional. They can provide a proper diagnosis and guide you in managing your allergy.

Rubber items are common in daily life, from erasers to shoe soles. But if you're allergic to latex, a type of rubber, try to limit your contact with these items as much as possible. If rubber must be touched, use gloves, preferably non-latex, to protect your skin.
Many everyday items that contain rubber have latex-free alternatives available. Things like latex-free gloves, balloons, band-aids, and condoms are readily accessible in most stores. It might be of great help to start replacing regular rubber items with these alternatives to ease your allergy symptoms.
Healthcare settings often use rubber products. Inform your doctors, dentists, and nurses about your latex allergy. They can use latex-free gloves and other supplies to minimize your exposure to the allergen.
Wearing a medical alert bracelet can inform others about your rubber allergy, especially in emergency situations when you might not be able to speak for yourself. This could save you from being exposed to rubber and prevent possible allergic reactions.

It’s a physician-prescribed, custom-compounded formula designed to target all your nasal symptoms at once — congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sneezing, and more.

Formulated by doctors and pharmacologists and backed by clinical research, Quickie combines five powerful ingredients into one easy spray.

Typical prescription may include the following ingredients: Azelastine HCL 0.15%, Mometasone Furoate 0.05%, Oxymetazoline HCL 0.0125%, Ipratroprium 0.06%, Sodium Hyaluronate 0.04%.
Straight to the source. That’s Curex


Quickie is a compounded prescription medication, prepared by a licensed pharmacy. It is not reviewed or approved by the FDA. It is prepared based on your provider’s evaluation of your symptoms and needs. Individual results may vary.

Lauren S.
No longer having to go the doctor's office a few times a week for painful shots.
Tony P.
I have done allergy shots in the past but found it pretty inconvenient to go every week. I really like the ease as compared with physically going to the doctors office.

Robert S.
The treatment is much less expensive than a course of allergy shots at a doctor's office and eliminates numerous trips to the doctor's and all the waiting time.
Janie L.
My seasonal allergies were much less severe than years prior. Most importantly, the convenience of taking drops in my own home is unbeatable.

Most patients feel relief within 15 minutes. We have both short-term relief ingredients as well as longer-term relief to keep you feeling better, longer. Some say it’s like turning off their allergies.
Sneezing runny nose, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy nose. Great for outdoor allergies, indoor dust, or when pollen spikes unexpectedly.
No, this formula uses a microdose of oxymetazoline, balanced with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients to reduce the risk of rebound congestion. Clinical studies over the last decade show that when oxymetazoline is combined with a corticosteroid, it can be used safely over the long term without causing rebound symptoms.
Quickie Spray combines up to five prescription-strength ingredients into a single, personalized formula — targeting multiple symptoms like congestion, post-nasal drip, and inflammation. OTC sprays typically address just one symptom and lack the synergy of a customized blend.
Some ingredients like azelastine may cause a slight taste, but many patients find it milder than traditional OTC sprays. Proper spray technique (head forward, not tilted back) helps minimize drip.We also offer an alternative formulation with olopatadine, which has a gentler taste profile and may be preferred by taste-sensitive patients.
Quickie is designed to replace most other allergy medications. But it is designed to compliment allergy immunotherapy for long-term relief. If you’re currently taking other antihistamines or nasal sprays, tell your Curex provider, so we can adjust your formula to avoid overlap or interactions.
No, Quickie is a personalized compounded prescription prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies based on your doctor’s evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as commercial products, but they are regulated under federal and state pharmacy laws.
Possible side effects include nasal dryness, mild irritation, or occasional nosebleeds. These are typically mild and manageable. Let your Curex provider know about any bothersome or serious effects, so we can fine-tune your prescription if needed.
Quickie is safe for daily use, especially during the first 3–6 months of allergy immunotherapy, when symptoms are still active. Your Curex provider may adjust your dose or frequency as your immune system builds tolerance.
Quickie is designed to be non-sedating, so you can use it before work, school, or exercise without feeling groggy or foggy. In rare cases where drowsiness is reported, let your Curex provider know—we can easily adjust the formula to better suit your needs.
Yes, Quickie Spray can be prescribed for children aged 6 and up, based on your provider’s clinical evaluation.
Follow the instructions from your Curex provider.Most patients are advised to use one spray per nostril, twice daily — morning and evening — for consistent relief.
