HI, I used to punch without any protection thinking that it will strengthen my fist but it actually damaged it..I now cannot throw more that 20 full power punch against a punching bag with gloves..
What do you people suggest i do..?
 
What were you punching? Any surface that has some give should be OK to punch bare handed if you know how to do it properly (with correct hand and wrist position and tension). If you did it improperly then you may have caused damage to connective tissue or even stress fractures. If so, the only solution is to stop doing it until those conditions heal (10 days to 6 months).
 
I had the same problem. I used to punch a heavy bag with unsuitable gloves. I didnt look after my hands and now every winter my knuckles crack open and bleed where the skin is so think.

Have a few weeks off and get some steroid cream from your docs. that will help the skin grow back. from then on you will need to use propper bag gloves (6oz minimum) and moisturise your hands every night.
