Sounds like you're making a fist wrong. If your fingers are digging into your palms, that's not right. The fingers should not be curled up like they are in the OP pic. They should lie more flat along the palm, facing back towards the elbow.
Curling them will only result in either breaking your own bones or cutting your palms with your nails. Also, most of the weight on your fist (both when punching and when doing push ups) should be on the index and middle finger's fist knuckle, ie the ones at the base of the finger, the top of the fist in the OP pic. Those are the strongest and most prominent knuckles. Therefore they are the best for supporting your weight for pushups and also for taking the impact of punches.
