What Is a Bunion?
By Joseph Bennington-CastroMedically Reviewed by Sanjai Sinha, MD
Conservative treatments may help relieve bunion symptoms, but only surgery can correct the deformity.
A bunion, or hallux valgus, is a physical deformity in which the big toe (hallux) moves and points toward the second toe.
This deformity causes a bump on the outside edge of the big toe.
