Obviously, I cannot make a diagnosis without examining your hand. That being said, the most common causes of "hard lumps" on your fingers would be arthritis, or possibly what is called Dupuytren's disease. There are many other possibilities as well. I suggest you consult a hand surgeon to get a proper diagnosis.
