You don't have to : Do anything unless you have pain...that would be when I would be concerned. If painful conservative treatment would be properly fitting shoes and reducing any inflammation around the bump. Surgery is another option.

See a Podiatrist: There is not much you can do to stop the progression of the deformity. There are steps you can take to slow down the progression. Stay in a good, stiff shoe with extra arch support. Custom orthotics (foot supports) will to the best in improving foot function. Splinting will not do much to protect the joint from this progressing. Surgery may be needed. See your podiatrist. Dr L
