Asked By:mmss70 in New York, NY

Immediately after the injections my left cheek started turning blue-ish and by that evening it looked like a strawberry birthmark. My doctor told me it was a very bad bruise and to take arnica pills and apply arnica gel and by the next day i had white bumps.. it's been two weeks of nightmare! My doctor keeps telling me its a bruise but it does not look of feel like a bruise! It's been very sore like needles and also very itchy! It's been a nightmare!
