 Neuroma
 Tight-fitting shoes or other irritations
may cause neuromas, one of the most common foot problems. A neuroma is a small mass
or gathering of nerve cells and fibrous tissue growing on a nerve. Neuromas, located
on the ball of the foot, usually occur between the third and fourth toes. Treatment: Local injections of cortisone and roomier shoes are often helpful. Surgical
removal also may be recommended for a neuroma that does not respond to treatment. |
