My pinky toe has a swollen lump on the top of the knuckle. Its not on the bottom of my foot the top only. I am concerned because I am on my feet all day. The right foot is the culprate, I noticed it about 2 weks ago. Any idea wha it might be?. I am a male of 26 years of age ad not over weight. I am adopted so i do not know what could be hereditary. Please help.
Hi.based from your description, it could be callous formation secondary to contact with your shoes, especially if It's too tight or the size is not right for your foot. Fibroma, tendon cysts, arthritic and gouty lesions must also be ruled-out. A consult with your doctor is best for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
