I got Botox last Wednesday 5 days ago and have had white swelling or discoloration/fluid collection (not sure?) about a nickel to quarter size with bruise in center. is this white fluid looking spot normal? nurse injector said she was not concerned when she saw it a few days ago but she also said it should improve more quickly. what could be causing this white looking area? if i press on the white area it turns pink for a moment/indents very slightly. not tender.
