Maybe: More likely an infection or a reaction to the filler. If it makes you feel better skin necrosis would not typically be red. How significant is your pain? How large is your rash? Is it superficial (shallow) or deep?

Fillers: that is a possibility. Please have your surgeon evaluate the area for treatment immediately.
