Bunions refer to a painful bony lump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. The Bunions may take place due to the defective structure of the foot which could be because of the flat feet or the extreme flexibility.
In some cases, the Bunions can be caused by trauma or inherited structural defects. When the Bunions take place due to wearing the wrong shoes, it affects the joint of the little toe.
The general symptoms of the Bunions may include inflammation, swelling and soreness over the joint of the big toe. A person having the Bunions may also feel the burning and red skin or searing pain and sometimes numbness. The treatment of the Bunions may include the changes in footwear, footwear pads and ice. Furthermore the doctors may recommend the anti inflammatory drugs and the orthotic devices or the surgery of the Bunions.
