Allergic Reaction to Botox...When Will the Symptoms Go Away???

December 9, 2011
Asked By:stage in North Carolina, NC

I received Botox for the second time for my face and 3 days later was covered in hives, a sunburn like itchy burning rash over my torso, neck, chest and hands. The first botox treatment caused no such reaction. My Dr. put me on prednisone for a 10 day treatment. It has now been over 9 days since the botox, 6 days since being on the prednisone, and I am still itchy with hives that come and go. There are no hives on my face where I received the botox. When will this go away!!!
