M
mhudginsMar 4, 2012

I had a Dysport eyebrow lift 5 days ago. I also had been diagnosed with Cutaneous Lupus. 1 year ago. My doctor who administered the Dysport was aware of my medical history and gave it to me anyway. Now I have deveoped a systemic itchy rash on my legs. arms and torso. I think I am having an auto immune response to the Dysport and a flare of the Lupus. What should I do? I am itching like crazy! Oh, but my forehead looks great!!
