hello doctor, i currently have been diagnosed with gout in my foot, on the small toe area. i have started to manage that but know i have a hard red lump that has formed about 2cm below the end of the small toe towards the ankle. it hurts when touched but doesn t feel like its there when i havnt got a shoe or sock on. thanks james
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have gouty arthritis with lump formation.  Lump is due to gouty deposits.  You should go for excision biopsy of that lump.  Also check your serum uric acid level.  You should take low protein diet.  Chat Doctor.  It will help to decrease uric acid level.  Ibuprofen like
