Habits and tics: There is no magic medicine nor a simple way of stopping habits or tics. If the only problem is messing with the thumbnails, that is probably best fixed by covering the thumbnails to see if the habit will fade over a few months. Band-Aid brand of flexible fabric bandages are good because they stick well but are not excessively sticky, and they flex to fit thumbs. One can try different sizes.
