A bunion is a swelling at the base of the big toe, which as it grows, causes the big toe to bend inwards, eventually crossing the second toe. Bunions can be a real pain in the foot and can make your life miserable. Dr. James Mintzer is a podiatrist at Providence Foot Health Center in Washington DC, where he treats all types of foot and ankle problems including plantar fasciitis, ingrown toenails, and bunions.
