What is the clear elastic gel coming out when lumps squeezed? What's going on with my skin? How can I get rid of lumps & rashes?

Question

Had Radiesse 8-14 area of nose & brow & 7 mo after, 4-14 got lumps. Few weeks later rashes on neck & upper chest & & lumps on face. Lost hair on R-brow (see July 4). July 9, Went to Dr in NY (Cameron Rokhsar)who did the procedure & he denied any relation. When lumps squeezed, clear elastic gel comes out. Saw Cardiologist; Rheumatologist, NJ Dermatologist, Plastic Surgeon; Allergist & Gyno & all have no clue. Biopsy from rash (5-28) said hypersensitivity to "medication" . Blood tests are ok.

I've been using Radiesse for years, so believe me, I'm very experienced in this matter. I agree with your doctor. I've examined your photos, and there is an allergy you experienced after 6-7 months, but it is definitely not related to Radiesse. Allergic reactions don't occur six months after an injection; if there were to be an allergy, it would manifest immediately after the procedure. When hair loss is added, it raises suspicions of a stress-related issue. A biopsy wouldn't provide a result like "Radiesse-related allergy"; however, it might indicate an allergy. It's essential to be realistic about this. If you think it might be medication-related, you could have a sensitivity to another drug. Even using a simple chemical cleaning agent or deodorant can sometimes trigger an allergic reaction. I recommend reviewing your lifestyle and changing your habits. Radiesse is a natural molecule derived from deep-sea algae. There is no risk of allergy; on the contrary, it prevents many diseases that can occur in the body. It is crucial for the health of our skin, cartilage, bones, and blood vessels. It has a protective effect against stroke and heart attacks and is known as the fountain of youth. By naturally stimulating fibroblasts, it increases collagen levels. It's not just the right support for the skin but for all tissues. So, it's a good thing you've had it done.I hope you find a solution to your health issues soon. Rest assured, the trouble you're experiencing is definitely not related to Radiesse.
