Acne/rash after Botox, 6 wks po and still won't go away, what can I do?

meg524May 7, 2018
I recently got Botox in my forehead for the first time. 2 days later I broke out with acne/rash on my forehead. I have tried many products and it won’t go away. I have had it for 6 weeks now. I have tried daily minocycline and clindamycin topical. I also have used cetaphil face wash. What can I do? I would rather have wrinkles. Maybe it won’t go away until Botox wears off?

Most likely it is light reflecting through the glass, because there is no real reason to use anything other than the saline that is recommended. Saline is extremely inexpensive, and the provider has every reason to want you to get great results so you can come back to get more. The...
