Why do I have a blue bump and crepey wrinkled skin under my eyes after Botox? (Photo)

RMSSF
I had Botox two weeks ago around the eyes, and went in for a touch up last Thursday, January 10th. On Saturday, January 12th, I woke up with a puffy, blue bump, making me look like I had a black eye. It is now 5 days later and the blue bump has not gone away. When I smile, the bump pushes up into a bumpy wrinkle, and makes me have very crepey skin. Any idea why this would happen and have suggestions or advice? It looks horrible and I’m very upset....
