Bunion On Little Toe
Tailor's bunion, also called a bunionette, is an enlargement of the fifth metatarsal bone at the base of the little toe. Tailor's bunions are not as common as bunions, which occur on the inside of the foot, but both are similar in symptoms and causes.
Sometimes a tailor's bunion is actually a bony spur (an outgrowth of bone) on the side of the fifth metatarsal head. Heredity is the main reason that these spurs develop.
Tailor's bunion is a condition that is similar to a bunion of the forefoot. It is called Tailor's bunion because it was thought that tailors sat crosslegged and caused this protrusion on the outside aspect of the foot. It is usually characterized by pain, redness and inflammation.
