What Causes Sensitivity And Numbness Around The Tip Of The Thumb?

for a week i have had a sensitive and numbness near the end of my thumb. one lightly colored red dot appeared. now there are two more dots. At first I thought i had injured my thumb opening a pill bottle. Then I thought I had been using too many sanitary wipes at my health club. The other thumb and one forefinger are slightly numb. I m 83 years old.
