Bunions
Bunions are bony bumps on the side of your foot. Bunions can be extremely painful and uncomfortable. By continuing to read this section you will find advice on how to tackle this issue, limit its progression and ease the pain.
Bunion Treatment
What causes bunions?
Inward pressure on the toes can lead to bunions, as the toe points towards the foot and the joint is pushed out. Tight and uncomfortable shoes can also aggravate this condition.
How to treat a bunion
Surgery is the only permanent cure for bunions. Fortunately, you can minimise friction and rubbing on the hardened area. Compeed® Bunion Plasters cushion the skin to prevent further rubbing, providing relief from pressure and preventing hardened skin.
How to prevent bunions?
It may be possible to delay the progression of bunions by taking extra care of your feet. Avoid unnecessary pressure by wearing properly fitting shoes, especially near the joint and toe area. For those occasions where you might wish to wear less comfortable shoes, cushion the area to minimise pressure.
