A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve irritation.: This is an irritation or injury of the nerve in your thumb. It could be due to an unrecognized injury or much less likely a rash that has not yet broken out (dyshidrotic eczema or an herpetic rash) time will tell. I suspect this will resolve without any treatment.
