Hard skin near thumb nail
I have got my skin near the thumb hardened.
I don't know how it happened but it is kind of increasing/spreading to the rest of the thumb.
Is it some kind of disease?? I had a history of skin allergy back in 2014 to 2015 I was traumatized for an year due to the same. We have concluded that it was because of touching a stray puppy.
But this thing is different.. I am facing it from mid 2019. The area has now hard skin patches and when I try to scrap it off it starts to bleed painfully.
Attaching a picture of the same for reference
