3 weeks ago I had a severe reaction to Botox on forehead. still recovering. I have used it several times before with no ill effects. Can I try xeomin??
Answer: This is not the usual allergy to Botox. It might be that you are reacting to something else. It could be the saline used to reconstitute the botox, the product used to numb the skin, the product used to sterilize the skin before the injection. You injector would know what they are using. I would not assume that you are allergic to botox because this is not what is seen. Something else is going on.

Answer: Allergic to Botox - does this mean I can't use it again? Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear of your injection site issues. As you mentioned having had Botox several times before without issue it is unlikely the Botox itself caused your symptoms. Perhaps a preservative in the saline used to reconstitute it or a topical ointment that your injector may have applied? I would let your physician know so that a plan to identify the cause can be determined. Best wishes.

Answer: Allergic to botox: swelling, burning, itching at/around injection sites. Does this mean I can't use Botox again? Thanks for your question and it is important to note that true allergy to Botox or any of the toxins is very, very rare and I doubt that whatever happened in your case is an allergy to the product, more likely something that happened during the injection process or afterwards. These injections should always be given in the offices of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon and if there are any questions or concerns, we are always available to discuss and to hopefully handle things without much concern. Find the right provider and you should do fine.
