Bunions usually occur when the base of the big toe pushes outward and deviates toward the other toes.

 

Bunions can cause discomfort when walking, this is because a bunion occurs at a joint where the toe bends. This means that the weight of your body weight rests on the bunion. The pain associated with bunions can be very painful.

 

Bunions can develop calluses from pressure and friction from wearing shoes.

 

When a bunion occurs on the little toe, it is called a bunionette.
