A member asked:
I was born without pinky toenails. how rare is that and what might be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Congenital: people can be born with missing digit, or they can have extra digit, complete or partial. there is no specific reason, something did not finish forming, in your case it was the pinky toenail.
