Have had botox eyes and forehead for 9 yrs. Last botox July 2015. On 12/8/15 hives appeared and have continued to this date. Under control (pop 2 or 3 on scalp under hair every day) since prescribed Allegra 180 mg BID and levocetirizine 5 mg at night. Photos show that hives were severe in my opinion. Is it safe to introduce the foreign protein of botox? I do not like the lines I am seeing. Is there a topical wrinkle relaxer on the horizon?
