About Bunion in Hyderabad
A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe joint, developing when the big toe gradually shifts and angles inward toward the second toe, causing the joint at its base to protrude outward. Over time this misalignment causes the joint to become enlarged, inflamed, and increasingly prominent, and the ongoing pressure from footwear against the protruding joint often leads to pain, thickened skin, and progressive deformity if untreated. Bunions tend to worsen gradually over years, and while genetics play a significant role in an individual's susceptibility, footwear choices can accelerate their development and worsen associated symptoms. A smaller similar bump can also develop at the base of the little toe, known as a bunionette.
