A true Botox allergy is rare but it is hard to discount the relationship of the reaction to the Botox injection.  In my practice , after injection thousands of patients with Botox, I have seen 1 case of allergic reaction.  I switched to a different toxin such as Dysport and the patient was fine. You may want to consider switching to Dysport or Xeomin.Best of luckDr Soni
