Could having (past and future) Botox injections bring on a shingles outbreak?

August 6, 2016
Asked By:L.Belle in Waller, TX

I have just recovered from a bout with the illness in the uppermost area (head, forehead and eye) and mid-section (cheek down to my upper lip/teeth) of my face. I have had Botox injections to prevent wrinkles before, the last being about 6 months ago. I would like future treatments but am concerned that it could bring on another visit from this disease.
