Bunions are Bothersome Bumps on Your Big Toe Joint

What It Is

A bunion (hallux valgus) is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, causing the joint to protrude outward and shift. It often results from structural issues or poorly fitting shoes.

Signs of a Bunion:

• Visible bump at the base of the big toe
• Redness, swelling, or tenderness
• Pain when walking or wearing shoes
• Restricted toe movement
• Formation of corns or calluses

Left untreated, bunions can worsen over time and affect foot function.
