Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
If you have not sustained any injury and if you are able to move all your fingers normally, then a fracture can be excluded.
The prominence you see on your hand could be due to MALUNITED fracture which shows up a small visible deformity.
An Xray will ruleout any fracture in that area.
Consult an orthopedic surgeon and follow his advice accordingly.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
