Bunion surgery: Is the redness where the bunions are (near your big toe joint)? Do they hurt? Have you tried wearing wider shoes? If this is still a painful issue, then you would need to consider bunion surgery. Bunion surgery is very effective, but is not to be taken lightly. It will take a minimum of 6 weeks to heal enough so you can walk with an athletic shoe and several more weeks for other shoes.

Surgery fixes bunion: If the redness and bruising is over the prominent bunion area, this is typical. You can only fix bunions by surgically correcting them. They are a boney structural malalignment. You can possibly get some relief by using orthotics, wider shoes, and pads.

Many possibilities: Treatment options for the management of bunions include conservative and surgical management. Conservative management options include use of orthotic devices, change in shoe wear, medications such as oral no-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), steroid injections, padding of corns and calluses, and splinting and strapping.
