When the bursa at the base of the big toe becomes inflamed, it is called a bunion or hallux valgus. This condition occurs when the big toe deviates toward the second toe, causing a bony bump to form on the side of the foot. The inflammation can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty in wearing shoes. Treatment options include changes in footwear, orthotics, or surgery in severe cases.
