Conditions
Neuroma
A neuroma is caused by the enlargement of nerve tissue often because of compression or irritation of the nerve. They are not normally a cause for concern, and are easy to spot as they cause a lump or swelling that can be moved side to side, but not up or down. Unless they are causing pain or discomfort, the normal course of action is to leave them, but if they are causing problems then they can be surgically removed, so if you have any concerns, go and see your GP.
