Bunions

A bunion is when your big toe points toward the second toe and causes a bump on the inside edge of your toe. They occur more commonly in women and can sometimes be hereditary. Wearing narrow-toed, high-heels can often lead to the development of bunions. They can cause red, calloused skin along the inside edge of the big toe, a bony bump at the site, pain over the join, and aggravated pressure from wearing shoes.
