A tailor’s bunion, also known as a bunionette, differs from a traditional bunion because it develops at the base of the baby toe instead of the side of the big toe.
Named because tailors used to sit cross-legged with the outside edge of their feet rubbing against the floor, producing an area of inflammation at the bottom of the baby toe.
