TREATING BUNIONETTES
A bunionette is a bony bump that forms on the joint of the pinky (baby) toe. Much less common than a bunion, bunionettes, or Tailor’s bunions, are caused by the enlargement of the fifth (and last) metatarsal bone. Put a silicone bunion pad over the tailor’s bunion to relieve pain and prevent the bunion from rubbing against your shoe. Wear shoes that are flexible and have a wide toe box. Avoid wearing narrow, pointed shoes and high heels. Hold ice to your foot for 5 to 10 minutes up to 3 times per day. Have your feet examined for the need for custom orthotic inserts.
