If I'm Allergic to Juvederm, What Should I Do?

Isotretinoin
I've been suffering from pretty severe skin issues since getting a juvederm, severe enough that my primary doctor believes I'm experiencing both an allergic reaction and an infection. If I am in fact allergic to a filler, what will I have to do? I mean, I can't keep it in my face right? My skin symptoms are getting progressively worse. Sensitive reddening spreading and painful white spots appearing. Does that mean I need to get the filler removed or dissolved? Is that the only option?
