A member asked:

I have a bump on the side my big toe. i assume its skin but feels like bone. i believe its slowly getting bigger. how do i go about getting it removed?

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, and physical examination. From what you described, it may be a callus or a corn. You may try over the counter treatment for callus/corn. If that does not resolve the issue in a month or so, see a doctor. Wish you good health!
