After getting Botox on my forehead, I developed a hive -like rash on my chest and back. Is this normal?

Asked By:cchaseatl

I have sensitive skin and am allergic to some perfumes and dyes but this is the first time that this has happened with Botox. I can't think of anything else that I changed during the time period; food changes or clothing, etc. I also had a terrible headache this time as well with the shots. Can this happen?
