Bunions are a bony projection at the base of the big toe.
They can be caused by over rotation of the foot or incorrect fitting shoes and is a progressive degeneration caused by the big toe being pushed towards the second toe. Bunions can cause redness, swelling and pain at the base of the toe. Surgery is the only option to completely remove the bone and correct the bunion however, podiatrists can help you manage pain and symptoms of your bunion.
