Asked By:re5164 in Chicago, IL

I was having a procedure done in hospital so the nurse put lidocaine on skin before IV was put in. My skin got red and itched and inflamed told her must be allergic she said no one is allergic to lidocaine. Told the anesthesiologist he said your probably allergic to the preservatives in lidocaine, I will inject you with both while your under and see. He was right. My question is can I still get fillers? I have been reading up and a lot of them have lidocaine in them.
