I received Botox 3 weeks ago and My Doctor did a touch up after 17 days. I had hives and rashes immediately on areas that she injected Botox for touch up. aI am taking corticosteroids and antihistamines since that day. Do you have any opinion why should this has happened to me? And how could she prevent it/ Is it her fault or so? I am so upset and everyday I blame myself for this. Many Thanks MITA

Answer: Botox Allergy is Rare I am sorry to hear that you have experienced this adverse event. You are certainly not to blame. Allergies to botox are exceedingly uncommon. The safety and effectiveness of botox are the main reasons that this is the number one cosmetic treatment nationally. While it is possible that you could have had a reaction to some consituent of the botox or the saline solution, a latex allergy is another consideration. I would recommend that you discuss reporting this incident to the Manufacturer of botox with the lot number. Your doctor can assist you with this. The medical department will speak directy with your doctor will be able to get you more information about how often this adverse event has been reported. After that discussion, you should consider allergy testing for latex allergies if latex gloves and syringes were used. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Best wishes.
