How do I get rid of a skin rash from Dysport? (Photo)

Question

I got dysport for cosmetic reasons and I had a terrible effect. Droopy eyelids, swollen brows, weakness, etc... And now this terrible rash on the injection sights. I went to a dermatologist that advertised botox, only when I got there he mentioned he didn't carry it, but that Dysport was just as good and more affordable...$400 later and I have this... It did not last 6 weeks despite 100 units... Help please...

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you've had since your Dysport treatment.  I encourage you to return to the dermatologist who injected you for an evaluation.  Medication can be prescribed if necessary.

Thank you for your question. The symptoms you have described indicate that you may have had a reaction to the Dysport. This will get better once the Dysport wears off in 3-6 months. However, I do advise having a follow up with your injector for an evaluation and to discuss any concerns you may have. Best of Luck!

I am sorry about your experience with dysport. 
Both products, dysport and botox usually last around 3-4 months depending on your metabolism and the way your body breaks down products, therefore, if you had a reaction to dysport, it should dissipate around that time. In the mean while, I would consult with the injector especially since he is a dermatologist and see his recommendations of care for the rash. 
Hope this helps.
