Got my Botox yesterday and I started itching that night. Is that normal or not? What should I do? Should I call my neurologist?

Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear about your issue after Botox injections. Itching after Botox is a rare side effect after Botox injections. Anti-histamines will relieve some of the itchiness and applying a light hydrocortisone cream 1 % , twice daily will also help. The good news is that it is temporary. If it does not get better within a few days or if it gets worse, I recommend seeing a dermatologist for a proper evaluation as the itchiness could be from something else. You should also see your injector for a follow-up. I hope this help. All the best, 

Thank you for your question kylie lamke. I am sorry to
hear about your situation. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles
associated with facial expression. A rare side effect of Botox is itching. This is temporary. I recommend my patients apply hydrocortisone 1% cream twice daily for improvement. If it continues for more than a few days I recommend that my patient sees a medical dermatologist as it likely has a different cause if it does not go away. Please consult with a doctor for specific
recommendations. Good luck!
