Can the liquid Botox accidentally spilled on the face cause damage to the skin? How do I treat the red skin blotches ?

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.
