If this is the case, consult a podiatrist right away because you most likely have a bunion (hallux valgus).
Don’t be deceived if the bunion appears to be painless at first.
Hallux valgus can produce a variety of unpleasant symptoms, ranging from minor aches and pains to ingrown toenails and mobility issues.
