Cold sore outbreak post lip filler - could I be allergic? (Photos)

June 6, 2022
Asked By:Sallie Mae in Austin, Texas

Three months post lip fillers and started developing swelling, tingling which eventually led to several cold sores all over top and bottom lips I typically get one or two cold sores a year but, nothing like this. Could I be allergic to fillers this far out post injection? I would say there's roughly 5 or 6 blisters between top and bottom lips. Do I have to dissolve my fillers?
