Semen and sperm are not the same things, sperms fertilize the egg inside a woman’s body, and to reach there, they are carried by fluids i.e. semen. Semen is produced by different male sex organs.
There are two tubes in the pelvis, the seminal vesicles provide fructose, that gives spermatozoa the energy it needs to swim to the female egg. The prostate fluid contains chemicals that make the semen more liquidy so that the sperm has more mobility. All these components make up semen.

Sperms can live up to five days inside a woman’s reproductive tract, waiting to fertilize the egg as soon as it appears. But semen cannot live for long outside the body. If deposited into the air or on a hard surface, it can live until it becomes dry.

Allergy because of semen is highly unlikely, but not totally impossible. The main culprit is the protein found in semen which can trigger allergic reactions.
Another way by which allergy can happen is if the woman has an allergy to some particular food or antibiotic, which the partner has consumed before the intercourse.
The allergy due to semen results in redness or swelling at the point of contact.
