A member asked:

A small soft lump that comes when doing things barefoot (yoga). it is on the outer top - if pushed down it kind of hurts but stays down until stressed?

Is that you pushing.: This sounds like the beginnings of a synovial cyst or ganglion cyst. These things, generally, tend to enlarge with time and activity. If or when it becomes a problem, it will need to be evaluated for the appropriate treatment.
