I had Xeomen injections in my forehead, and around my eyes. It’s has been 36 hours and I have hard bumps at each injection site. It reminds me of a ant bite without the itching. Should I be concerned?

Answer: Persistent bumps after injection Thanks for your question and photo. I would definitely either go in and see your injector or send them a photo of this. It is not common for the small bumps to last more that a few minutes, although once in awhile, someone can get a bruise and swelling from nicking a blood vessel under the skin while injecting, and that can cause a little lump that lasts as long as the bruise. I would be curious to see what dilution they mixed the Xeomin with, and if this is something that happens often at your clinic, as it is not something I personally have seen from any of the neurotoxins after a few minutes post injection. Best of luck!

Answer: Bumps Hello there, This seems very abnormal to me. Typically these bumps are absorbed within minutes of the procedure, and any bumps left would be a result of bruising. It does not mean that it is dangerous or harmful, but does seem to be some type of reaction to the injections. I would definitely contact your provider in regards to this. Hope this helps.
