Immediately after Botox, I have itching welt/hive. New doctor said no problem to try it again? (Photo)

lw0819
After my 8th time of Botox, immediately intense itching and welt, at 2 our of 3 injection sites. Itching went away after 20 minutes and welt after several hours. This never happened before. Largest hive/welt was at the site which got the most Botox. Went for second opinion and new doc says not to worry and just do it again, originally she seemed unsure. I only received 10 units total. There are unfortunately reports of anaphaytic at cosmetic dose, is it too risky to try again?
