Is it common to develop several painful lumps months after underarm Botox?

smurfreeFeb 4, 2019
I got Botox under both arms and months later developed several painful lumps under my arm. Is this common? They eventually went away, at one point I took antibiotics, as my primary physician thought it was an infection. Now, nearly 11 months since the Botox, I got another painful lump. This time it’s more painful. Is this common months after Botox?

Botox is a very effective way to quiet down the sweat glands in the feet, under the arms, on the face, and elsewhere. The cost varies by your geographic region and the amount of Botox used. Please note that it takes significantly more Botox to stop excessive sweating than it does to treat ...
