A member asked:
Can metatarsal cuneiform joint exostosis go away and come back. the bump is on my little toe bone almost exactly between the toe and ankle?

Wow you just : Spread the anatomy around. Metatarsal cuneiform describes the midfoot. The toe and the ankle are not close by. Exostosis is merely a name for an overgrowth of bone, it is the samething as a spur. They disappear when they are surgically removed. They can come back. They comeback for the same reason they developed in the first place. Usually, pressure of some form. They do not magically disappear.

Exostosis: Exostosis is a growth of bone also known as a bone spur. That does not go away usually on its own. Surgical intervention helps with that. The bump you described is hard to visualize but could be a cyst. Have it checked out by your podiatrist.

No it can't: However the inflamed bursal sac above the spur can. Have it checked wear a shoe that doesn't pinch it.
