I have had Botox in forehead and got pimples (small cysts w whiteheads) at the injection sites. Not a rash. Why?

I have seen other posts similar and almost all doctors say it's unrelated to Botox, but it has to be for me. I'm 50, I don't get acne. I have only gotten it after Botox, on my forehead in the exact spots of the injection. Persists for almost as long as the Botox . 6-8 weeks. One will go away, the next one pops up. Thought it was a fluke when I got Botox first time. 2nd time same thing.
