Asked By:lilliandoris68 in Brisbane, AU

During Botox injections the dr released some Botox from the needle, unaware his finger was releases the liquid. The liquid ran down onto my cheek area and I had to tell him before he himself noticed. The doctor was training. He gave me a tissue to wipe it. It has been red ever since and it has now been a year The area is dry, rough and blotchy and it has not gone away. It is very noticeable I have been putting zinc cream on it but has not made a difference.
