Could it be possible that I am getting bunions? My grandma had them and yesterday I was noticing that my feet looked a little asymmetrical
There is no way to know for certain whether or not you have a bunion without a doctor’s diagnosis. A podiatrist will give you a thorough medical exam, go over your medical history and, in some cases, take X-rays to determine if that bump on your foot is indeed a bunion burgeoning. Other possibilities to consider include infection, a hairline fracture that causes the foot to swell, gout (a condition that causes uric acid crystals to accumulate in the joint), or arthritis in your feet.
