Signs And Symptoms Of Bunions

Bunions are a type of bony bump formed at the base of an individual's big toe, and they occur when the big toe is pushed against the second toe, which forces the big toe's joint to become larger, and then it sticks out. A patient's skin might become sore and red where the bunion is. There are quite a few potential causes of bunions, and one of the most common is wearing narrow shoes. If an individual has a structural defect in their skeleton, it might also cause bunions. Medical conditions like arthritis might also cause bunions. It's possible to develop bunionettes on the little toe as well.
