Is it to be concerned about the lump on the heel?
Patient: 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? Doctor: 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.
