A member asked:

The outer edge of my foot hurts. there seems to be a lump that is very tender to the touch. it's painful to walk. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bunion, bunionette?: Depends on where on the side of the foot it is located... inside/outside, base of a toe. Consult with a podiatrist and/or orthopedic surgeon, wear proper fitting shoes that do not put excessive pressure on the area. Follow the advice given by the specialists.
