Understanding bunions: symptoms and characteristics.

A bunion, also known as hallux valgus, develops on the big toe joint when the bones of the big toe become misaligned. It looks like a large bump on the side of the toe. The big toe angles in toward the second toe and, in severe cases, may overlap or tuck beneath the second toe. Bunions are more common in women than in men.
