Is it Okay to do Botox on My Face if I Have Excema?(photo)

If there is well controlled eczema without any evidence of skin infections, then you should be able to have botox.

Botox works by weakening muscles in the face. By weakening these muscles the wrinkles in the skin are subjected to less movement and therefore the wrinkles often improve over time.  Botox is FDA approved for treatment of the lines that develop in the glabella, which is the space in between the eyebrows.  It is often injected into other areas such as wrinkles in the forehead and the crow's feet.  Some of the contraindications to Botox include presence of infection, history of neuromuscular diseases, and bleeding disorders.  Eczema isn't necessarily a contraindication to Botox.  I would consult with a local physician and have an examination to determine if Botox is appropriate for you.

If you have been diagnosed with eczema you need to know that this is not a specific diagnosis but rather a term that has been used haphazardly to classify a set of clinical characteristics.  These can range from a simple rash to itching, swelling, bumps and blisters.  Knowing the underlying of eczema or dermatitis can sometimes lead to effective treatments and we would refer you  to a competent dermatologist.
The most common symptom of dermatitis is itching.  Simple therapy including an oil based cream applied to the skin twice a day can help with dryness.  Avoid soap that can strip natural oils  from the skin.  Recalcitrant or more complex symptoms should be referred to a Dermatologist.
Botox is safe in patients with Eczema  and will not make the symptoms worse.
