What Does A Painful Bump On The Palm Indicate?

I have a bump that has developed in the palm of my hand about an inch below the middle (or longest) finger. It is hard and hurts when pressure is applied to it. Any thoughts on what it is? Should I go to the doctor? Have had it for a couple of weeks now and it hasn t gone away.
