Can a Bunion go Away on Its Own?
Bunions can not go away on their own. You will need proper treatment to get rid of a bunion or prevent the bunion from worsening.
Symptoms of Bunions
Bunions can result in a bump on the side of your foot. This bump may look red, swollen, and will feel painful to the touch, making it difficult for you to walk or wear shoes. You may also notice that your toes tend to lean away from the bunion.
Arthritis in the big toe joint can often be confused for a bunion. You may experience pain and swelling in either condition; the key distinction being the bump found with the bunion.
Who is a Risk of Developing Bunions?
Age, genetics, occupation, and your shoes can all have an affect on your likelihood to develop bunions. Wearing shoes like high heels often can increase your risk of developing bunions. In addition, working a job where you are constantly on your feet can increase your risk. If you multiple people in your family have bunions, you are more likely to develop bunions as well.
