The initial "injury" was simply the edge of my thumbnail got torn off while I was moving items in storage. Unfortunately I'm not sure what I tore it on as it didn't hurt and I didn't notice until I was washing my hands afterwards. It didn't tear into the nailbed, or at least not very far. It was quite literally just the white part of the thumbnail that is normally clipped off that tore.

About a week or so later the edge of my thumb got very dry and cracked, which is pictured Here (March 8th). It was only painful to the touch (guess how I found out which part of my thumb touches my phone screen the most!) and the pain was entirely mitigated with liquid bandaid.

Now, a month later, it is like dead skin that continually grows back. If I clip the dead skin off, it is raw underneath, pictured Here (April 11th). When it is "normal" it is pain free but looks pretty gross, pictured Here (April 15th).

Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

Thanks for any responses :)
