Bunion or Hallux Valgus, also known as bunion, is a deformity of the joint that connects the big toe to the foot. In this condition, the big toe tends to bend towards the other toes, and the joint becomes red and painful. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, swelling, and difficulty moving or bending the big toe. Bunions can form from a combination of factors such as family history, abnormal bone structure, wearing inappropriate footwear, and prolonged pressure on the big toe joint12.
