It's been more than 1 year since I've been administrated 12 botox injections in the armpits 6 to each. I recenly started to have severe swellwings in the areas. It 1st started as a massive swellwing on one side of the armpits but it only lasted for 1 day, it was also painful. After that the pain has stopped and the swellwing size has reduced. The swellings have now extended to both armpits and it's getting more painful. Any possibble suggestions as to why this occurs? Thanks
