What should i do to eliminate a bunion?

Bunionectomy: The only way to actually "eliminate" a bunion deformity is to have it surgically corrected. A podiatric surgeon or orthopedic foot & ankle surgeon can examine you and explain the best procedure for you. Good luck.

Do you mean pain?: See the podiatrist. Question: does it hurt and does it impact your daily activity? Conservative treatments focus on getting rid of the irritation at the bunion that cause the joint inflammation at the site. Topical, oral and injectable medications, orthotics and shoes may be used. If surgery is needed, procedures depend on the severity of the deformity. Individual assessment is key!

Bunion: Can only be gotten rid of by surgery. If its pain that you are asking about there are many other options to consider.
