Suggest Treatment For Lump And Numbness In Hand

Today My hand started hurting as I was typing at work for no apparent reason. I then noticed a bruise between the first and second knuckle on top of my hand. A lump has swelled up pretty good and now my hand and half way up my arm has gone numb. Does this need immediate attention?its gotten worse fast. This all started 4 hours ago.

yes it does need immediate attention, the numbness means that probably a nerve is involved.

Please attach the image of your forearm and hand to suggest better
