Toddlers suck their thumb to comfort themselves. It's not something that requires treatment at this stage. Please give some time for your little one to outgrow this habit. Treatment is recommended in case the child continues to suck the thumb after 4 to 5 years of age. For the skin roughness please consult your paediatrician for a prescription for any mild lotion or cream.
