Why is my forehead going into spasms if I rub it a certain way a month after Botox?

Asked By:Jenny Clark in Kilmaurs, Scotland, United Kingdom
I had botox done at the start of December. Everything was fine. Last week I took my make up off and rubbed my eyebrow. My eyebrow went into a strange spasm and raised up! I rubbed my head frantically and it went back to normal. Last night however, I scratched my head setting off another spasm. This time more sever with a big vein popping out my head. I got really upset and panicky. All has settled now, but why is this happening? I am scared to touch my forehead.
