There are many types of foot ‘lumps and bumps’ that can occur either as a congenital or acquired condition. The most common ones include:

• Bunions

• Corns

• Heel bumps

• Ganglions

• Cysts

• Bone spurs

• Lipoma, Fibroma and Neuroma

For many of these conditions early diagnosis and treatment with a preventative care programme  will likely prevent a worsening of the condition and avoid a more invasive surgical treatment. 

Where non-surgical treatments have been unsuccessful, however, it may be appropriate to consider surgery. For conditions such as these surgery is generally a successful and permanent solution.
