Been getting botox for years and went to a new Dr today. About 10 hours later this is what I look like. I've never had this happen. I looked him up on the botox website and he does buy from them. Obviously I'm allergic to something but what could it be? How long will this last? I'm so stressed out. I took benadryl so I hope that helps.
Answer: Red after botox From your picture it looks as if something square was placed on your forehead. Botox would not create such a sharply demarcated shape. Did you have topical anesthetic applied or a bandage/adhesive? An ice pack? I think it would be impossible for Botox injections to create this mark. I think you are reacting to either something done pre-or post injection.

Answer: Red forehead after Botox. Hi Heather and thanks for this question. I think it's more likely you're reacting to the skin preparation solution than the Botox. You should contact your injector and continue to monitor your skin for any continuing signs of allergic reaction. I doubt it's the Botox since you're been getting it for many years. Best, Dr. ALDO
