Is my Forehead Infected at the Injection Site of Botox?

corord
I have been getting Botox for 10+ years and never experienced this. I have a very tender spot between my eyes that is sore to the touch like a bruise but with no bruising. I had my last injections over a month ago and did not have any tenderness at first. It is getting worse every week. No where else on my forehead is tender. Can the injection spot be infected?
