Bumps on the bottom of the feet can cause pain or discomfort while walking. There are many potential causes for foot bumps. Calluses frequently form on the bottom of the feet due to uneven weight distribution, excess friction or injury, or bone misalignment. Certain skin conditions, such as eczema and plantar warts, can cause multiple bumps to appear on the sole of the foot. Nodular masses called plantar fibromas can form in the arch of the foot, as can fluid-filled sacs called cysts. Haglund’s deformity, which is a bump that forms on the back of the foot under the Achilles tendon, can cause pain and irritation from rubbing against your shoes. In rare cases, a lump on the bottom of the foot may be a type of soft tissue cancer called synovial sarcoma. If you have a bump on the bottom of your foot, it is suggested that you seek the care of a podiatrist.
