Hello, the tip of my thumb is funny feeling like an asleep feeling but i haven't been laying on it or pushing on it. is it something to worry about?

Ans: Did you have any trauma to the thumb? The thumb is innervated by the median nerve. Do you do repetitive work using your hands? You should see your doctor
