Acne Cyst from Botox or Needle Injection?

December 23, 2012
Asked By:Crshie7815 in Orland Park, IL

I developed acne cysts or nodules at the injection site where Botox was injected. I don't know if it was from needle trauma or Botox. I have found many stories on Internet. Have any drs been seeing this trend? It's not usually the first Botox injection... It's usually after third round as in my case. I also believe it happens in a low percent but happens. I wish the company would study but feel they might want to diminish these findings....
