Likely ganglion cyst: These bumps are often from the joint forming a bubble of fluid. If it presses on a nerve it can cause numbness. If it is getting worse, go see a hand surgeon

See Hand surgeon: Lumpiness around joints can be due to either arthritis or from cysts that arise from joints called ganglions or mucous cysts. Numbness is not a symptom of either of those diagnoses. Numbness is due to nerve related issues and the commonest diagnosis would be a carpal tunnel syndrome. See a hand surgeon for assessment and management.
