Is It To Be Concerned About The Lump On The Heel?

Hi i recently discovered a fairly big triangular white lump on the ball of my heel. its kind of hard and it doesn t hurt, though its uncomfortable when i walk or put pressure on it. i play baseball so i think thats where it came from but i would like to know what it is. its also on my other foot but smaller and more circular. do you know what it is?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of heel swellings, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     wart-like benign squamous lesion

2.     The second possibility is of a bursa or ganglion cyst
     
3.     The last possibility is of some gouty tophus or some infection /trophic changes!

I suggest you to go for a physical examination by some surgeon and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
