Can you have Botox or dermal filler when using steroid cream on your face for eczema?

There are over 370 drugs (2663 brand and generic names) that have been retorted to interact with Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA).  Some of these are typical steroid creams.  You should look up your exact medication and read on it specifically.   Same goes for fillers and which ones you are interested in.   Rule of thumb is wait till you are done with your treatment. 

The only potential problem is if Botox is injected in the area tha may have ongoing, even minimal infection. Otherwise, no problem. Good luck!

You can most definitely have Botox and fillers in your face while using any type of facial cream or products. Good luck from New York City

There is no problem using steroid creams on the face with regards to Botox or filler but be sure you are not using a very strong fluoronated cortisone cream as it may cause atrophy

Thank you for your question shazzadev. I understand your concern. Botox is a purified protein
used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. When injected into
the skin Botox will relax the muscles and smoothen out the overlying wrinkles. The
most common areas of treatment are in the upper face. These include the
horizontal lines seen on the upper forehead when one raises the brows, the
vertical lines seen between the brows when one frowns (frown lines), and the
crow's feet seen around the eyes when one smiles.It is difficult to make an assessment without a
formal exam in the office where I can view the skin in multiple angles and observe
wrinkles formed with facial expression. However, I hope the information
provided here is useful.The safety record of Botox is well established.
The product has been used for over 20 years for a variety of treatments with
minimal side effects. Botox is amongst the safest treatments for treating
facial wrinkles.While Botox is one of the safest treatments
offered, there are some situations where it is not appropriate. These include
anyone who has an allergy to any of the inactive ingredients or who has had an
allergic reaction to any botulinum product including Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or
Myobloc. The safety and efficacy of Botox has not been established in women who
are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breast feeding. Therefore, women in
these categories are advised to wait until breast feeding is completed prior to
having a Botox treatment. Botox should not be placed in the skin on the site of
an infection. Those who are taking an
aminoglycoside antibiotic, an anesthetic, D-penicillamine, antimalarials, or
immunosuppressants should not be treated, nor should those who have undergone
chemotherapy within the previous six months. It is important to avoid blood
thinners before and after a treatment. These include both prescription and
non-prescription medications such as warfarin (coumadin), aspirin, ibuprofen,
alcohol, fish oil, vitamin E, and ginko biloba. Those with conditions that affect
muscles and nerves such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou
Gehrig's disease), myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome should not
undergo Botox treatments.
The safety
and efficacy of Botox treatments have not been determined in women who are
pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breast feeding. There is also no
evidence that Botox crosses the placental barrier, but such studies have not
been published. While some physicians are comfortable treating women who are
pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breast feeding, in the absence of data
I err on the side of caution and recommend that my patients avoid Botox and
other such cosmetic treatments until they are no longer breast feeding.Application of topical steroid creams on the skin is not a contraindication to Botox treatment. However if there is an infection in the area I advise my patients to wait until the infection has resolved prior to any injection in the area.Please consult with a doctor for specific
recommendations. Good luck!

Hi shazzadev,There is no pharmaceutical interaction between Botox and steroid creams or Botox and cortisone shots because they work on different pathways. However, for some strange reason, there are some residual effects on people on oral prednisone who opted to have Botox. All the best,Justin Harper, M.D.
