I am sure that at some point in our lives, many of us must have come across persons who have a sixth finger. Most times, the sixth finger is very small while in some occasions, it tends to be as big as a normal finger.

If you know anyone how has this or if you personal have a sixth finger, there is nothing to be worried about. People

often feel there is a spiritual meaning to it and often discriminate against those who have it but that behaviour is entirely wrong.

When a person has a sixth finger, it means the person has a medical condition called Polydactyly.

This condition makes a person have extra fingers or toes. The term was derived from two greet words “ poly

” (which means Many) and “ dactylos

” (which means Digits).

The most common type of this syndrome is the one where a little extra finger grows next to the fifth finger or toe. This syndrome is as a result of mutations in the body as well as environmental causes and it tends to run in the family

. This means that if you have it, one of your offsprings may likely develop it too. Here are some facts about Polydactyly:

– It commonly affects the right hand and the left foot.

– It commonly affects hands more than it affects feet.

– It is more common among men.

– People who feel uncomfortable about having a sixth finger often get rid of it through surgery.

Looks disgusting. This should be trimmed off when at a very tender age.

I was told I had mine and I still have very little barely noticeable dot on one of my hands

I've always wondered what it looked like...
Curiosity cured.

Mine too was trimmed off, it's creepy abeg
