bunion on pinky toe

A bunion on the pinky toe is rare, but it is possible. The condition is known as a "fifth toe bunion" or "bunionette of the little toe." This bunion is similar to other types of bunions, it's a bony protrusion that forms on the side of the little toe, caused by a displacement of the bone. Symptoms of a bunion on the pinky toe include pain, redness, and swelling in the area, and difficulty in finding shoes that fit comfortably. Treatment options include rest, ice, over-the-counter pain relievers, physical therapy, and orthotics. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to correct the bunion and alleviate the pain. It's best to consult with a podiatrist or orthopedic surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
