Bunions are bony protrusions that form at the base of the big toe, often causing pain, swelling, and difficulty fitting into shoes. They typically develop due to a combination of genetic factors, improper footwear, and increased pressure on the joint, and can be managed with conservative measures or corrected through surgery when necessary.
