Bump on the Foot: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

What is a Bump on the Foot?
A bump on the foot is a protrusion or swelling that can occur in various parts of the foot, most often on the inside or outside. A hard bump on the foot can develop in many different areas and may cause pain when bearing weight. Depending on its location, bumps on the foot can cause anything from mild discomfort to significant pain that affects walking ability.
Common Causes of Bumps on the Foot:
Hallux Valgus (bump on the inside of the foot, near the big toe)
- Bunion (bump on the outside of the foot)
- Ganglion (fluid-filled cyst)
- Exostosis (bony growth)
A bump on the inside of the foot is often due to hallux valgus, while a bump on the outside of the foot may be a bunion. A bump on top of the foot is often a result of repeated friction from shoes or local inflammation.
Symptoms of a Bump on the Foot
Common symptoms include:
- Visible protrusion on the foot
- Pain and tenderness around the bump
- Swelling and redness
- Limited mobility in nearby joints
- Difficulties finding comfortable shoes
When a bump on the foot hurts, it is often due to pressure from shoes or strain while walking. A swollen bump on the outside of the foot can be particularly painful when wearing tight shoes. In some cases, even a bump that normally doesn't hurt may start causing discomfort after prolonged standing or walking. A bump near the big toe or on the plantar side (underside) of the foot can be especially painful as these areas bear significant weight during walking.
