Head injury following botox. Should I be concerned? (Photo)

estallz
I had a Botox treatment on my forehead for the first time approximately 2 1/2 weeks ago. I had a touch-up (4 units) a week later. Today, I ran into a cabinet in my kitchen and bumped my forehead. I have huge bump. It is abnormally protruding and has not reduced in size since the incident 12 hours ago. Is this cause for concern?
