Itchy Swollen Bumps 2 1/2 Months After Radiesse and Botox?

I had Botox 3 months ago & radiesse a week later. Botox in brows & around mouth. Radiesse in brow furrow, on cheek bones & naso-labial. A little immediate pain & swelling. I loved the results of both & no adverse reactions. Little radiesse deposit in the deepest part of my brow wrinkle, but you can't see it, it looks smooth, you can only feel it. But, past 6 days I have developed 3 hard, itchy lumps in forehead & brow (not at injections). Using cortisone cream. Is this related to the fillers??

Seems unrelated but you should be seen by the MD that did the injections just to be certain. If needed, they may refer you to a dermatologist.

Also, you noted the bumps are not at the injection areas, so this is something else. Consider making an appointment with a dermatologist to have these checked, but no they are not related. Make sure you're applying the hydrocortisone after cool water. The cool water helps break the skin's barrier and allows the hydrocortisone to be absorbed and... more
