Breakout from Botox on my Forehead AFTER Two Weeks?

April 10, 2013
Asked By:fan123 in New York, NY

I had botox on my frown line and forehead almost a month ago. I did not have any allergic reactions until about 2 full weeks after when I started breaking out on and near the injection site. They are progressive getting worse. They look like tiny acne. I've never had acne or pimples my entire life until now. I am over 40!
