Not many: Bunion splint, toe spacer, stretching exercises. There are not many home treatments to help a bunion deformity.

There aren't : Really any. A bunion is a "bump" of bone. No home treatment will make this bump disappear. Surgery will. Home treatment can help inflammation of the bunion known as bursitis go down. Hot soaks can help this. Avoid tight shoes to avoid the bursitis, but no home treatment will make the actual bump go away.

Foot care: Treatment options for the management of bunions include conservative and surgical management. Conservative management options include use of orthotic devices, change in shoe wear, medications such as oral no-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), steroid injections, padding of corns and calluses, and splinting and strapping.
