Stye occurred day after Botox? Any chance of infection from stye to treated area?

Question

I have been having reoccurring styes past few months and am currently being treated for them. Had Botox injected around eyes (no stye was present at the time) but developed one 24 hrs later. Any chance of infection from stye to treated area?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Botox has no effect on the stye and vice versa. I suggest seeing an expert if you are truly concerned.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There should not be an issue with botoc with active stye. The botox injections are outsdie the are of concern.

Anteneh Roba, MD · Answer

Very unlikely that the style will affect the Botox injection sites. I would not worry too much. Check with your injector, just in case.

Thank you for your questions. I have not heard and have never seen styes being caused by Botox. This may be coincidental. Hope this helps.Sincerely,Dr. Benjamin J. Cousins MD Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

It should not. Styes are clogged ducts that can become infected. Even if it was infected, the risk of spread to botox sites would be incredibly unlikely.
