Hello everyone, im a product developer and i also have bunions on both of my feet. Im creating a cream product which is used to reduce pain and swelling of bunons and was just doing a little research to see if this product would be of value to anyone? Im quite an active person and at the end of the day my bunions do swell up and cause some pain so if i had something to help me with this issue id be interested. If you could give me some feedback on this idea and let me know if you'd buy this solution for a fair price that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    It might be worth you actually looking up Hallux Valgus. You might be able to reduce the pain slightly, swelling possibly but that will not stop the deformity and that is what causes the pain in shoes! Also once patients have had the operation, the foot is bandaged. So how to apply cream?? Try to develope something for after maybe. I think you need to get back to the drawing board. After care is something which really needs to be looked at!!

      Hello Susan, thanks for your reply. I undetsrand that this cream would not solve the deformity completely, this isnt the aim for it at all. I just know at the end of a long day when my bunions are throbbing id feel more comfrotable if i could reduce the pain and swelling and get my feet feeling normal again. Thanks your honest feedack and suggestions, it all helps

      Not sure how a cream would help me, the bone is on a nerve and I have a bone longer than it should be which is affecting movement.
