See podiatrist: You should see a podiatrist for this as surgical intervention will probably be needed.

Your options : Are really to wear sensible shoes that don't allow rubbing and irritation or to have the bunions surgically repaired.

Bunion treatment: There is a wide spectrum of treatment for bunions, but the exact reason for the discomfort needs to be determined. This usally requires and xray and exam. Treatment usually begins with shoe modifications, certain types of shoe inserts, or splints / padding for the bunion and great toe itself. If these measures fail or the deformity is too severe, surgery may be necessary.

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.
