I bought a genuine rubber muzzle from Vilain Garçon, and the first ten times ive worn it i had no issues just a great time. Eventually it started to make my mouth and all around my lips very red and swollen, i thought it might have been because I didn't wash it well enough, so I scrubbed it down really well. I tried again weeks later, and the same thing had happened.

I don't think I have a latex allergy because when I wear latex, It's fine and my understanding is rubber and latex are the same thing. Has anyone else had a problem like this before and been able to fix it? spent a lot of money and really like this muzzle, and i don't want to give it up.

I'm even thinking of using duct tape to cover the inside or maybe some sort of a silicone paste over top to keep it from having any skin contact to the real rubber. Please help me
