Punching bag&bloody knuckles..?
Hi, I'm a freshman girl and I am inlove with boxing. Anyways, I've been practicing on my heavy bag and this would be my second day on the heavy bag but yesterday after I got done hitting my heavy bag I noticed two knuckle blisters and they were sore all day long. Today, I went out there and I started hitting my heavy bag again and it wasn't too long until I found blood on my heavy bag so I took my gloves(they are leather btw) off and my knuckles were bleeding. I washed my hands with soap and put band aides on them, my mom helped me wrap my right hand but I started hitting my heavy bag again and I took my right glove off and it was bleeding again!! Could I be doing something wrong? If so, what is it?

You need to wrap your hands from the sounds of it with MMA/Boxing hand wraps to avoid wrist, knuckle and other hand injuries. Then put your bag gloves on.
I don't know if you have an instructor or not. If you do make sure you discuss this with them and get shown the proper way to wrap your hands. There are tutorials on the Internet but improper wrapping is as bad as no wrapping and can cause injury.
