Why is my entire forehead red after botox? (Photo)

Asked By:heather.b in Medina, OH

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: I believe your reaction is from what was used to prepare your skin for the Botox injections.
