I got facial fillers Friday and had immediate bruising. The swelling pain and bruising worsened over the weekend. I called the nurse she said apply ice. Today there is puss and blood oozing from pores only in the injected areas. I went to the dermatologist who did the filler and he said I have herpes. I have lab work from only 4 months ago that says negative for HSV 1&2. Doc gave me valtrex anyway and an antibiotic. I think it s my body pushing the filler back out. Is that possible?
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion it is not a herpes.  It is likely that it is an infection at the site of filling. I like to do Grams staining and culture sensitivity from the discharge. You can take the treatment according to the culture report. Till that time you should take antibiotics like definite and analgesics like diclofenac under your doctors' guidance. Please maintain good hygiene bye frequent cleaning and Chat Doctor.
