Neuroma
Neuromas are enlarged benign growths of nerves, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. They are caused by tissue rubbing against and irritating the nerves. Pressure from poorly-fitting shoes or abnormal bone structure can create the condition as well. Treatments include special shoes or inserts, cortisone injections and/or sclerosing injections, but surgical removal of the growth is sometimes necessary. |
