Hello,
It may swollen vein or palmer ganglion originating from tendon sheath. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
In the case of a swollen vein, it may be treated with antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication. Palmar ganglion is treated with surgery.
Please consult your physician/orthopedician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
