I'm 42 and too have had the same result. I've been getting botox in my forehead and around my eyes. Each time I would get a few of these pimple like sores. Very painful...could not pop...bright red/inflamed. I had never in my life broken out in these areas.

In August - I had my botox redone..this time with the most I've ever had injected. Same areas. Horrible results. Bruising under my eye...that I looked like I was beaten up. Over 25 of these cysts on my forehead. They keep coming up around my forehead and eyes. My gal is a nurse..so I was initially concerned she used a dirty needle or had staff infection because she came from her shift at the NICU/hospital. I have bumpy blotchy skin...scars from the cysts. And she said she's never heard of this before!

I should demand my $ back. Last time I get botox! I just hope its not permanent damage.

See your dermatologist...not someone who does this on a p/t basis. Save your money for surgery - permanent results.

It's been 5 days since you had the treatment any change? Do you think maybe, you are allergic to the Botox? Did you consult an actual dermatologist? More information would be great.

Been since late August when I had the injections. Same reaction as those others. I had no idea it was acne after botox. Never had breakouts on my forehead around my brows, below my eyes before. Not ever. I'm hoping the worst is over. YEs- saw my dermatologist this week. Her nurses said yes- its rare..but they've heard acne after botox can happen. I just assumed it was allergic reaction as I got 1 or a few of these cysts every time I had botox over the past 2 yrs. But in August- exactly 8 days later- entire forehead covered. Dermatologist suggested I try dysport - new product like botox.

Sucks...not like it just goes away. 4 mths of reaction is my guess. I have til end of December to see if I get any more. I will then try another product - 1 or 2 injections -test area..with my dermatologist office. Not a spa!

Wow, that does not sound good at all, I'm so sorry you are still having this reaction, and December is a long time to wait. You mentioned you will try another product, what are you going to try?
