Bunionette: Also known as a "tailor's bunion", a bunionette is an enlarged bony bump similar to a regular bunion but found on the outside of the foot at the base of the little toe. Frequently bothered by shoe gear (especially ones that are narrow in the toe box) a painful reddened area may develop over the bump. Padding and wearing wider shoes may be all the treatment necessary. Orthotic devices may also, however, be valuable in treatment. For some people surgery is necessary.
