Hard lump still present MONTHS after Botox - what can I do? (photos)

Oohlalash
I had Botox for my forehead lines injected about 8 months ago, done by my Dentist, who is trained in administering Botox. I’ve had Botox twice before without any issues. This last time, I felt a bit more pain than normal during injection in one site. Days and weeks later I still felt tenderness and swelling in that one injection site, which turned into a tender but firm lump that hasn’t gone away. The DDS told me to rub cortisone cream on it, which hasn’t helped. Who do I see for this problem?
