Due to unnoticed trauma or medicines or chemicals

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
It could be due to some unnoticed trauma or due to the side effect of some medicines or due to chemicals like soaps and detergents.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to clip it or consult a doctor and get it avulsed.
