QUESTION: There is a lump under my big toe on my right foot. it feels like bone. Can I have it removed? It bothers me and I think it looks terrible.
ANSWER: “The nodule may have been caused by local pressure , a deformity or deformity or by wear of the joint †
It is important to have a X-ray in order to find out the cause. I recommend that you discuss this complaint with an orthopedic surgeon to discuss. It is usually possible to surgically remove such a lump.
If growth is the cause, removal is usually combined with a posture correction. Is wear the cause, then the joint will also have to be treated. Unfortunately, in some cases the lump can come back after surgery.”
