Posted on Tue, 19 Jan 2021

Question: I’m a 44 year old woman with pulmonary sarcoidosis and celiac disease. I am also about 50 pounds overweight and have been exercising more for weight loss. I recently found a hard lump the size of a pea on the inner side of my big toe joint, right under the nail. It doesn’t hurt and doesn’t bother me. I’m wondering if I can just watch it or if it is something I have to see a doctor for? I will include a picture.

Seems like bone spur.

Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I see the photo you attached and it seems like a bone spur.
Possibly it doesn't hurt because it is too small.
You may need to use ice compresses, anti-inflammatory drugs such ibuprofen,wear wide shoes.
