Finding a lump or bump where it shouldn’t be can often bring a surge of concern. Thankfully, those that are discovered along a joint, ligament, or tendon on top of the foot are often what is known as a ganglion cyst. While these growths can sometimes be bothersome and need treatment, they rarely present any immediate danger.
If you discover a lump in your foot, the best option is to see a podiatrist. Our specialist, Dr. Mary K Benjamin-Swonger in Scottsdale, Arizona will be happy to evaluate you and offer treatment recommendations. First, it is always helpful to make sure that the lump is indeed a cyst and not a more serious condition.
If conservative methods fail to provide enough relief or eliminate the cyst, surgery might then be considered to remove the cyst and its connection entirely.
