What Causes A Bony Growth In A Foot?

I have what Im guessing is a bone sticking out of my foot about the size of a dime. I checked out a diagram and it seems like it would be the Cuboid bone.. or in that area. It doesnt hurt except when i put pressure on it like when i cris- crossing my legs. Im kind of worried about it but dont want to go to a doctor and it be nothing.

Hi,

Consult an orthopedic and plan for an X-ray.
It could be a bony swelling like osteoma.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
