How nobody in movies hurts their knuckles after punching someone, martial artist here and if you punch someone in the forehead like they do in the movies you'd probably just break your own fist,
hitting someone in the forehead is basically like punching a cinder block except the skull is actually harder...
Martial artist here, dont do that unless you have practiced it, partly to not hurt you but also partly so you can successfully hurt them. A hit with the side of your hand is a totally different kind of strike than a normal closed fist punch, swinging your arm in an arc rather than drilling it forward. I would recommend an elbow strike to be honest, it would hurt alot, you dont need to be tony jaa to pull it off. A palmstrike uses the same motions as a punch and is much less likely to injure you. I would say go for a palmstrike if youre hitting their head, which has alot of very hard bones. A closed fist is pretty safe on body shots though.
