Tailor's bunion
A tailor's bunion is a deformity in which the little toe is crooked and points more toward the big toe. This creates a lump that is often painful and red from friction in the shoe.
Symptoms
The lump often causes symptoms when wearing tight-fitting footwear. You usually experience pain and redness.
Treatment
Wide shoes and possibly an orthotic can be chosen as treatment.
When the adjustment in shoes or orthotics does not help enough, surgery is needed to correct the sloping position of the little toe. This is usually done via day surgery.
