Thumb sucking and chewing - broken skin?!

My 20 mth dd has been a regular thumb sucker since about 5mths. I think she's been chewing on her thumb as the skin is broken and flaking. Can anyone give suggestions on what to put on to sooth it, which isn't going to have an adverse effect when she puts her thumb back in her mouth?!

Ah I did and still do this. Olive oil? Beeswax lip balm...?
