The condition of having an extra membrane of skin joining two structures in the body together.
A flap of skin, such as what can develop between neighboring fingers or toes, is referred to as “webbing.” This condition, which is often hereditary and present from birth (congenital), can affect multiple digits. Mild cases of webbing are entirely harmless, but in some instances, surgical correction may be considered for cosmetic purposes. In more severe situations, adjacent digits might be entirely fused together. Additionally, webbing of the neck is a characteristic feature of Turner’s syndrome.
