What Causes Nails To Come Off Near Cuticle?

Layers of my nail started coming off & near my cuticle its bent in and bumpy. It doesn t hurt, but I m afraid it may be some sort of an infection. Id ton know what caused it, but maybe you can help provide some answers. What do you think caused my nail to start doing this, to make it clear, it s only happening to my left thumb nail.
