What Are Bunions and How They Are They Diagnosed

A bunion is a painful bump located on the underside of your foot, directly over the jointed area where the base of your big toe meets the end of your foot. This type of ailment is diagnosed by a podiatrist or family doctor and requires some lifestyle changes to help alleviate pain and worsening of the condition. Bunions are rather prominent and will appear red and swollen. They are usually tender when you touch them and in time may develop a shiny appearance.

Common Causes for the Presence of Bunions

Many people who develop bunions do so because of the structure of their foot. This is often hereditary. As we age, the feet spread. If during this process, the big toe moves toward the first metatarsal bone in the foot, a lump will appear over the joint. In addition to foot structure, bunions can be the result of wearing ill-fitting shoes. They are also found in people who suffer from arthritis in the feet. If your legs are different lengths, the foot on the longer leg may develop a bunion due to uneven weight distribution as you walk.
