i have them big time as well! they come from the aggressive irritation on the bone from the ski boot, your foot reacts by building a layer and it just gets worse and worse. i don't know of a way to remove them but i would go to a boot fitter and have a little bit of the padding that rub the bunion removed and then wear some bunion pad things that you get at most stores. it has worked for me.

don't worry about surgery till your old and decrepit, you can't really make them go away, but soakin them in epson salts in supposed to do a little bit of something.

Make sure to get you boots punched out asap tho, I've had bunions for years, and thats the most important part to prevent further growth.

i have them too... yuck.... the only thing that gets rid of them is surgery but you really dont need to have it unless they are really painful... which some of them are and some of them are not.... but they just bug me

but the "swelling" goes down during the summer and then gets worse as the winter goes on....

i had my boots punched out and now it feels a lot better.... get your boots punched ASAP ... if you bought them at a local shop they should do it at no charge.... at least thats what my shop did...

one my friends had them... and they got really crazy looking all purple cause he was in his boots 8hrs a day!!! he got his boots punched and now its all good....

I had them the same as your friend. they are a bitch but there's nothing you can do about them except surgery but soaking them in hot water and vingegar everynight after you ski helps a lot. It got me through 8hours of training a day when the sides of my feet turned purple and I was in agony. Also geet your boots punched/ blown out or maybe check to see if your boots fit. If you can take a couple of days off skiing if they seem particularily painful.

my brother has them, surgery is the only option. its a bone growth and during the surgery they just shave away the bone with a scalpel. I assume they only do that when its really bad  though

after i got my intuition liners this year I started to get pain down the middle of my foot, shop thought it was a low 3rd toe but turns out it was just a bit too cramped and apparently i have bunions on the side too. Get your shell widened, they just heated it up and widened it spent about an hour at the shop and the moment i put them back on i could tell it's going to be 50times better
