This looks like a pyogenic granuloma (vascular growth) or possibly an infected lesion/boil. Since it is present for 1 month and appears red and raised, it is unlikely to resolve on its own.
Next Steps
• Do not squeeze or puncture the lesion
• Keep the area clean and apply a topical antibiotic (like mupirocin) twice daily
• Cover with a small dressing to avoid friction
• You should consult a dermatologist — it may require cauterization/laser or minor procedure for complete removal
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• These lesions can bleed easily if traumatized
• Avoid repeated touching or irritation
• Home treatment alone may not be sufficient
• Early removal prevents recurrence and complications

Based on your description and the image, this appears most likely to be a localized bacterial infection such as a small abscess/furuncle or possibly an infected cyst on the palm or can be friction blister due to repeated trauma.
Since it has been present for 1 month and not resolving, it is important to treat it properly rather than waiting further.
Next Steps
Do online consultation.
Health Tips
Avoid scratching or squeezing.
