A bunion is a painful swelling on the first joint of the big toe, usually causing the big toe to point inwards towards the other toes. Although the exact cause is not known, it is believed that family history and wearing poorly fitting shoes can both be held accountable.

It can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty in wearing shoes. Treatment options often include lifestyle changes, orthotic devices, and in some cases, surgery.
