Along with aging, where the hair turns white, wrinkles on the face and other changes begin to appear, some people begin to grow the bone of the big toe, which is called gutta or gokharu, while in English it is called bunion. It is quite common in both men and women, especially after the age of 65.
Estimates show that one in four people under the age of 65 and one in three people over the age of 65 have this medical problem. It can also occur in children, especially girls between the ages of 10 and 15.
The good news is that bunions can often be treated without surgery. Although in some cases it can lead to more serious problems, which require aggressive care.
