Thumb "numbness"

2017-11-10 18:25:27
About a week ago, while i was at work, i noticed a strong and quick numbness in my left thumb joint. it only happenes when a specific spot in my thumb is disturbed. i had problems finding the spot, but now that i have i have noticed a small bump under the skin that you cant clearly see. whenever i touch this bump my whole thumb goes numb for about 1 second and then goes back to normal. cant find anything online so hopefully you can help!
