hi.
based from your description, it could be any of the following: a cystic formation (possibly a tendinous or ganglion cyst), a fibroma (fibrous tissue formation), lipoma (fatty deposit) or callous formation. if you are bothered by it and it is increasing in size, affecting function of your hand, it is best if you consult with a doctor, for clinical evaluation. diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
