Hard forehead bump from trauma is not a complication of prior Botox
Trauma to the head can cause a hematoma which is a collection of blood in the soft tissues. This than can solidify eventually forming collagen and even harder tissue. Often, firm bumps that occur immediately on the forehead are contusions which result from impact to the bone and its covering lining becomes stretched out. This can be very painful to the touch but often goes away over months. Rarely, these can persist.

Bump on forehead after trauma
The bump on your forehead after trauma is not related to your Botox. It is related to your trauma and most likely is an organized clot or collection of inflammed tissue or scar, which slowly dissipates with time. Assuming you did not hit your head hard enough to lose consciousness, it is unlikely that your issue is bone-callus related, because the upper part of the frontal bone is one of the toughest bones to fracture and would be associated with significant...

The bump could possibly be a hematoma in its "organized" state before it starts to soften and resorb. Additionally, it could be a small lipoma or collection of fatty tissue that can be created when connective tissue by the bone is disrupted. Finally, it could be a "bony callus", which is basically a scar on the bone...

Bump after Botox and Hitting Head
Botox doesn't affect your body's ability to heal, so this hard bump you have is from the injury and has nothing to do with the Botox. See a physician if you are concerned, but this is unrelated to the Botox injection.

Bump after Botox + Bang
Botox should not affect how you react to trauma. You may have a bad bruise or hematoma. See your plastic surgeon or dermatologist but the bump is likely from the trauma and unrelated to the neurotoxin.
