question from a user
How does one know they are allergic to a certain carrier oil?
AlphaMD's Answer
Itchiness after injections, especially around the injection site, rashes near it, swelling. It happens after each injection, then passes after a day. Then the best test would be taking decent dose antihistamines & seeing it the symptoms go away. If you try a combination of these things & believe that's the case let your provider know. They can either change it up or order a generic commercial brand for you.
