After receiving Botox around eyes and Juvaderm to lips I got a horrible headache and high fever that lasted for days. Fever and headache are gone but I have these tiny patchy bumps all over my top lip! Not lumps you can feel, just ones you can see. Looks horrible! What's causing them? Should I be concerned?
