Brief Answer:
It should be treated non-surgically

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Bunions can be treated non-surgically if they are not painfully. Some measures that can be taken are:
- Wear shoes that have a wide and deep toe box. This will provide room for comfort.
- Wear Foam and felt pads on foot to protect from bunion
- Sandles with correct toes spacers are also helpful.
- Avoid the activities that hurt your foot. Rest the foot often.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks doctor.

I can feel a little pain sometimes on my right toe bone. How about treatments to reduce the bunion size on the toe? Is it possible to reduce its size?

Hi again

Technically speaking, a bone will not reduce without surgery. But I have seen improvements with proper fitting shoes. It does reduce in size if we wear shoes that are not tight. and above measures also help.
It does reduce with non surgical methods.
Please check in your lifestyle as what is causing it. It is advisable to not repeat that lifestyle.
