New to Boxing need help

Aight well I just got my first heavy bag about 2 weeks ago. I started out kinda going easy on it, but the last 3 days I really started u know hitting it hard in like really tiring 5 minute sets. I just noticed that in between my pinky knuckle and the 4th finger knuckle on both my hands that it looks like I broke a blood vessel today and yesterday. Thats what my old man said, and it looks that way. It don't hurt or nothing, but just wasn't sure if it meant i was maybe hitting to hard with the outside of my hand, or maybe I need to wear more padding.

Right now I wrap my hands, and use like the kinda thin leather gloves that come with the Everlast bag when I bought it, they don't have a weight listed on them.

Thats natural. EVERYBODY gets them from time to time.
I never get them anymore, not sure if thats through conditioning or im just hitting properly.
Yeah your not suspposed to hit with those two knuckles, try and concentrate on the biggest two. Maybe your not turning your body correctly. Look at som punching technique videos...

Oh, and try and get yourself to a boxing gym
