Can Restylane cause skin discoloration? My doctor suggested that my over the counter multiple vitamin is causing it.

Asked By:joanne in Bowie in Bowie, MD

Last October I had 2mL of Restylane injected in my nasolabial folds and aroun my cheek and chin. In June of this year I noticed that this area had a dark gray/bluish ashy discoloration. I am now feeling facial discomfort. My Dr. is reputable and highly regarded as one of the best in this area. She informed that she believes my over the counter multiple vitamin is causing the discoloration and that I should stop taking it. I am not on any other medication.
