Contusion: You may have bumped your thumb and overnight had a bruise develop. It may turn colors like blue, green, yellow and disappear over 1 week or so. If not better consult a Doctor for Xray and advise. Small fingers can get bone chips that will show up on a Xray.

See Doctor ASAP: Without examining, it will be hard to say as to what is going on - See doctor Soon - get examined and treated
