Sculptra Breakout - 1 Month After Injection?

I had sculptra 2 years after facial fat transfer. The fat transfer I had in my face did not stay, so I had radiesse a year later, & touch up 6 monthlater. I wanted to get rid mof my nasolabial folds, & my doctor said sculptra would do the job. It's been about 2 months since the sculptra injections & my face is all broke out. Little pimples, papules. I am applying cortisone cream at night. The dr. who injected me dismisses it. I still have nasolabial folds. what can I do?
