It depends on what bump you are referring to; your larynx is formed of cartilage, and two of the cartilaginous structures contributing to its overall shape are termed the laminae. These laminae meet at an angle and form the laryngeal prominence - in men, where the angle is sharp, it is colloquially referred to as the Adam's apple. It is much less evident in women due to the softer angle, but can be felt easily. In males, the cartilage will elongate during puberty and cause the voice to break until, finally it reaches its final "adult" stage - it will then be prominent as described and be accompanied by a deeper voice.

Thus, if you're male and have entered puberty, this is normal just development. If you're talking about some other bump you should ask your doctor.
