You have extra fingers or know someone with them?

I have one on my pinkieeee 😭

2025/3/26 Edited to

... Read morePolydactyly, the condition of having extra fingers or toes, occurs in roughly 1 in 1,000 births worldwide. This genetic trait can appear as a dominant gene, meaning it's often passed down through families. In some cultures, having extra digits is seen as a unique blessing, while in others, it may be viewed with skepticism or curiosity. Medical professionals classify polydactyly into several types, including preaxial (extra digits on the thumb side), postaxial (extra digits on the pinky side), and central (extra digits between existing ones). While polydactyly is often harmless, some individuals may opt for surgery for cosmetic or functional reasons. The procedures can vary in complexity depending on the bones and muscles involved. Join discussions within the community about personal experiences and advice on living with extra fingers or toes. Whether you or someone you know has this condition, sharing stories can help foster understanding and acceptance. From practical tips to emotional support, the journey of those with polydactyly is as diverse as the individuals who experience it.
