I have a lump on the palm of my hand that looks like it may be a blood clot is this possible and what should i do about it ?

Unlikely a clot: Most likely you have dupuytren's contracture. It is a tightening of the tendons of the palm of the hand. Typical course is gradual and worsening, can sometimes regress spontaneously in 10% of cases. General worse prognosis factors (faster or severe progression) include: age under 50 years, tobacco use, alcohol use.
