It is possible.
There has been no research into this to confirm one way or another, however many women who switch from tampons to options such as pads, menstrual cups, or softcups do report that their flow reduces significantly, suggesting that tampons may be causing heavier bleeding.
There are two main theories behind this idea;
1. Most brands of tampons contain various chemicals and toxins, as tampon companies don't disclose what ingredients they use and are self-tested we have no idea what ingredients are used or their potential risks. It is possible that ingredients within certain tampon brands may contribute to vaginal and menstrual health problems that could increase blood flow.
2. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing ulceration, this may cause increased bleeding. During the 70's and 80's tampons were made from highly absorbent materials, there are many accounts of women being admitted to hospital due to hemoraging as a result of damage caused these ultra-drying materials. Today mosthighly absorbent materials are banned, with the exception of commonly used rayon which may cause greater ulceration.

If you're experiencing light bleeding then you shouldn't be using tampons at all because this increases your risks of TSS. I'm not sure what you mean by causing bumps, tampons go inside your body and unless you regularly examine yourself wiht a speculum you'd not be able to see any bumps inside your vagina that could be caused by tampon use.

What is can go wrong if you have implantation bleeding?
Implantation Bleeding After ovulation the egg travels into the uterus and burrows into the lining of the uterus. For some women implantation will cause slight bleeding or spotting. This is called implantation bleeding. This is sometimes confused for an early period. What does implantation bleeding or spotting look like? Implantation bleeding, also called implantation spotting, does not look like a regular menstrual period. Implantation bleeding is scanty and usually pink or brownish discharge. Implantation bleeding or menstrual period? Implantation bleeding normally occurs a week to a few days before your period would normally start. Spotting that occurs around a week after ovulation is likely implantation bleeding; whereas, spotting that occurs very close to the time that your period would normally start may not be. A normal menstrual cycle generally starts off light and then gets heavier. Spotting can sometimes be the sign of an early period. If this is the case, the spotting will pick up to heavier bleeding. If you have spotting right around the time your period would normally start, it can be more confusing. You will need to take the wait and see approach or take a pregnancy test to determine pregnancy.
What does it mean when you put the tampon in you stop bleeding but take it out you bleed?
Tampons cannot cause your period to stop, menstruation is shedding of the uterine lining and controlled by hormones so nothing in your vagina can impact on menstruation in that way. Your flow is light or not consistent, the fact you're using tampons has no relationship to that at all.
