What Causes Bruise On Right Foot On Wearing High Heels?

I have a small bruise that develops when I wear high heels right above a bunion on my right foot..I have a fairly large vein that runs over my bunion & the redish purple color is the size of a dime & just to the outside of my big toe..it has happened twice now. It goes away but I wore heels today & it s back..

Hi there
high heels shoes usually have a very sharp toe box and this causes friction or pressure over the bunion and bring about your bruise. it is generally quoted that shoes with very narrow toe box can actually cause bunions. I suggest wearing shoes with wider toe box as often as possible
