Botox & Eczema
There is no reason that you cannot get Botox because of eczema. The two entities are unrelated. Perhaps while you're there you can speak with a dermatologist about how to make the eczema more manageable for you as well. Best of luck!

Botox is OK if you have Eczema
Yes, Botox is OK if you have eczema; as long as it is not injected into areas of active eczema. I cannot ever recall Botox aggravating eczema in my nearly 20 years of Dermatology practice. Good luck.

It is often injected into other areas such as wrinkles in the forehead and the crow's feet. Some of the contraindications to Botox include presence of infection, history...

Botox and eczema: is it safe?
Eczema is an allergic skin condition of unknown cause. Botox is obviously injected under the skin into the muscle where it blocks the signals that make muscles contract.
