Hard Bumps After Sculptra on Forehead

JennyM
I had the injection done on my temples and forehead about 11 days ago. After the swelling and bruising went away, I was left with two very hard and large bumps. I have been massaging to try to break them up but they have not gone away and one of them has gotten bigger. They are very noticeable and painful. I have read that these can be permanent and get even worse. Is this true? Is there anything I can do?
