My first question would be how long does this "pimple" last and do you get it in every injection site? You should get a tiny bee sting like bump that's there for maybe an hour max into injection sites when you get Botox or Dysport. This is the product injected and it dissipates within a hour max. If that's what you're talking about, it's totally normal. If you actually get a pimple, then something else is happening.
