I touched Botox injection site right after not knowing not to touch - am I going to have an issue?

Asked By:abmd32 in Charlotte, NC

I just had 15 units of Botox above my brow line and in between eyebrows as well as for crows feet. I haven't had it in a while and totally didn't realize you aren't supposed to touch the injection sites for 24 hours. I pressed on a couple of the sites after to try to remove the dried blood and scraped a bit - I am so nervous that this could cause it to spread to other areas and possibly cause an eye droop. What are the chances I am going to have an issue - I am kind of freaking out? Thank you so much!
