Had botox, for the first time, in my 11s on the 9th. There is a small sore bump or raised area above my left eyebrow. Advice?

I just massaged it for a second or two, but now I'm spooked that I've done something wrong. I don't know how long I should have waited to touch the area but I guess I was trying to massage out the soreness a little or see if I could get the bump to go down a little. It is right where the needle went in. It kind of feels like a bruise, I guess. Did I just mess up my results? Is 2 days enough time to get a facial massage or do some heavy duty exfoliation, too? Thanks!
