Tags: eyebrows, forehead, 1 day post-op, pain, side effects

I got Botox injections between my eyebrows 3 days ago. My firehead sores a lot! I can't touch the area where i got injections. I can't wash my face without pain at that area and I can't apply cream there! Is it a side effect? Or unprofessional doctor? or bad quality of Botox itself?...

Pain after BOTOX is possible

Pain after BOTOX is possible, but it may also be an indication of an infection. If it’s red and tender consistently, you should have the doctor check it to make sure it’s not infected.

Pain in the site old botox injection

It is possible a branch of supra troclear nerve(sensory nerve) pierced or otherwise injured during the administration of botox. Like similar injuries it will resolve sponaniously in time.If the pain is intolerable (neuralgia)consult your doctor or a neurologist who may prescribe medications to releive the pain.
