Hoping to get some opinions as my Allergist and Dermatologist advised me different. So a few years back I gotten Xeomin for my 11s about 3 times. It was great, no side effects. Than I stopped and had a baby. Three months post partum I went to get Botox instead of Xeomin and it was also good but the second time I got Botox 13 days later I developed full body hives. Allegist thinks its not related to Botox but Dermatologist thinks ive developed a Botox Allergy. Now I dont know what to do and who to listein to. Id like to go back to Xeomin but worried.
Answer: We have not hives like you describe from either Botox or Xeomin. Perhaps you could get Clarity by calling the manufacturers of these products. We have been using BOTOX for over 25 years, and we have not seen a single allergic reaction. We have been using Xeomin, since the product became available, and similarly, we have not seen a single allergic reaction. We have not heard of anyone developing a full body rash / hives. Since adverse reactions are reported to the companies, they may be the best source of information for you moving forward. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Botox vs. Xeomin Allergy Concerns Thank you for sharing your experience. This is an important and valid concern. Allergic reactions to botulinum toxin products such as Botox or Xeomin are rare, but they can occur.

Answer: Allergy Medicine isn’t a guessing game .. you should do a small subq spot test in the forearm with each and see if it causes a localized skin reaction then there is your answer .. xeomin doesn’t have associated toxin proteins so it is less likely to cause any adverse reactions but the real answer lies in the test

Answer: Allergy to Botox Allergic reactions to Botox and dysport are very rare, but can be quite severe. It is easy for any treating Physician to do a small skin test using Botox to see if you have an allergy. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman MD, organic Plastic Surgery NYC
