A bunionette , or tailor's bunion, is one that develops at the base of the little toe.

What is a Bunionette? A bunionette is a bony lump which forms on the outside of the foot at the first joint of the small toe; where the toe joins the foot. The causes of little toe bunions is not always known although they are believed to form in response to excess and repeated pressure. Pressure is usually exerted by tight and restrictive footwear; although it can also come from sitting cross legged on the floor for long periods of time.
