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

Do you see a rash forming? Is the area tender? You want to rule out any possibility of an allergic reactions, especially if it was your first time doing botox. Botox allergies are very rare, however if it is only minor tingling or itching, some patients will feel this up to a day after their treatment since it is a minor side effect. Please see your treatment doctor or your primary care to rule out any allergic reaction or infection.

Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear about your experience. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. A very rare side effect of Botox is itching and is temporary. You can apply hydrocortisone cream 2x a day. If this persists for more than a few days, I recommend seeing a dermatologist as it is most likely is not caused by Botox. Please notify your injector of this. Best of Luck!

Any medicine can cause anything and that includes rarely itching caused by Botox.  contact your neurologist to get something to alleviate it or take Benadryl OTC. it should go away quickly

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!
