Hurt my hand by punching something hard. stil have a bump on the right side of my hand?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

? SUPERFICIAL: Could be merely a bruise, but cannot exclude small fracture, especially in distribution of digits 4 and 5. An X-ray might be needed, especially if alignment has changed. Based upon your severity judgement, contact local physician.
