lump of outside of child’s foot

My 12 year old has a growing lump on the outside of his foot, but it is not near the little toe, so I don’t think it’s a bunionette.
It is about half way down his foot.
I can find no information about it anywhere on the web.
Has anyone heard of this before??

    Without seeing the foot, I can not tell for sure. It may simply be the base of the 5th metatarsal. If you are concerned, see a podiatrist.
