Asked By:Ve261281 in Islington, G3

I had 6 months ago few drops of tear trough filler. 2-weeks ago this red bumped developed and it looks like is not going away. I have no pain no redness around this area. I think is cystic acne but little worried maybe the filler got infected. I had a botched tear trough filler which needed go be dissolved and caused awful hollowness (my own tissue was dissolved too) I only had few drops of filler placed in the skin which was kind of “sucked in” I am worried
