Facial rash after Botox

Always improving
This is the 3rd time I've gotten Botox & all 3 times I get a rash around injection site that goes away a few days later. I assumed this was from the topical analgesic because I tend to have sensitive skin. This time though I got crows feet injected along w/ forehead and bridge but the rash is also on my cheeks, which did not get analgesic. It's quite bothersome & itchy. I'm wondering if the rash/irritation I get after Botox may possibly be from the Botox and not the analgesic? Thank you!!
