A member asked:
Can you gain weight in you feet.for thin people with very thin toes and prominent bunion.can gaining weight help appearance of bunion by adding fat around it so that its not so prominenant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not desirable: Not the healthiest way to hide prominent bunions, as multiple medical problems may develop from being overweight. Would suggest starting with a podiatrist's opinion regarding treatment for bunions and use of proper shoes.
