cant tell for sure without exam. But most of these gradually become smaller over time and gradually disappear. Pl abstain from this in the future.

Yes it is bad. The damage to your hand is trivial compared to the damage to your brain by this ill-legal substance. Seek care from your doctor or a counsellor. Wish you good health!
