A bunion is a foot deformity (a lump) that permanently alters the actual physical shape of the foot causing the big toe to turn inward towards the second toe. This leads to a visual alteration of the foot, pain and inflammation. A bunion is caused by flat foot syndrome, incorrect footwear, joint damage, arthritis, and genetic disposition.
