Foot Problems: Causes of Growths, Pain, and New Symptoms
Foot problems run the gamut from blisters caused by wearing the wrong shoes to nonhealing foot ulcers caused by diabetes. Some foot problems are triggered by overuse and standing all day on the job, whereas others are linked to fungal or viral infections that cause unwanted growths.
Metatarsus Primus Varus
Metatarsus primus varus is a foot deformity that affects the angle of the bones of the big toe.

It's also associated with a bunion, which is a bump on the side of the big toe.
