LUMP ON OUTSIDE OF CHILD’S FOOT

I hope someone can help! My 10 y/o daughter has a large, painless lump on the outside of her feet. Both feet have it but larger on the right, same area of the foot. It is getting larger, and doesn’t go down in size. Could it be a tumor if it is on both feet?

    Without seeing it, I can’t tell you anything. Are you perhaps describing the base of the 5th metatarsal? This would be about halfway between the toes and the heel area on the outside of the foot. If so, it is normally prominent in some people, especially those with skinny feet.
