Have Bony Growth On Outside Of Foot. What Is It? Do I Need It Surgically Removed?
I have a bony growth on the outside of my foot just below the base of my toes on each foot. My grandmother had these making wearing shoes painful. It looks like my foot has a calcium deposit growing there and my shoes hurt. What is it? Do I need it surgically removed?
