Reddish, swollen, tender, painful spot at injection site of Botox (Photo)

August 8, 2018
Asked By:bdazzle in New York, NY

This is my second time getting Botox injection to the forehead. I haven’t had any issue before but now post injection I have this obvious lump in the center of my forehead that is painful and very tender. I have been icing it but really worried that something is wrong. I have a follow up with injector in 2 weeks. I also sent a pic to which she replied it is just a bruise and to cont icing. I am so uncomfortable from the pain that it makes me think it’s more than just bruising. Any advise is appreciated.
