Asked By:LJ11111 in Italy, IT

Hi. I've had Botox done on my forehead just between my eyes about 5 weeks ago. Now I am in Italy and using factor 50 sun cream. However it seems like ecaxtly where the chemical is injected it has created a pigment mark that looks like a map. Why did this happen and what can I do? Will this fade as the chemical gets absorbed by my body or will it stay forever? Thank you. L
