Botox Caused Me to Break Out. I Am 40 Years Old. Started Getting Botox Last Year?

BotoxNoMore
Not like regular pimples. Bumps that stay for a very very long time. Not 3-5 days. Weeks! They itch. Some little some big. I have not had acne since I was a teenager. I changed my makeup. Bought so much face cleaning like proactive, acne free, etc. Fed up, went online and randomly put in, "can botox cause beakouts." Hundreds of other females experiencing the same. Why was this not a warning? What can I do now to get rid of this acne? I am not doing botox any more. I rather have lines than bumps!
