Did you ever have your hand Xrayed? to check for fractures? It is possible that the bump is the spot where your bond fractured and is remodeling in the healing process. It can also be scar tissue located over a tendon injury or healing tissue over a break in the lymphatic sheath. It can take months or years for scar tissue to soften.

I have a bump on my hand/wrist area that started off at an ingrown hair, and now has developed a 2nd bump, but this is not with fluid. Its more of a hard, bone like feel rather than before. What could that possibly be?
