Can Dysport cause acne? Second course of Dysport and now my forehead is breaking out, never had this issue before. (photos)

Asked By:MariaLudwig in Los Angeles, California

I noticed I started getting a couple pimples in the days following the treatment. I thought maybe it was irritation from the numbing cream. It is now 1 month later and my forehead is full acne. This didn't happen the first time I was treated, and I have NEVER in my life broken out like this-my forehead skin was always perfect. I also notice this time around my forehead feels heavy in the same area the breakouts are occurring. What's going on??
