Could it be a bunion? Its been over 4 months since my last major attack (large amount of swelling and unable to wear shoes or put any pressure on my big toe). Now the swelling has gone down but I believe I’m left with a bunion that occasionally gets red or have some skin irritation around the affected area. No swelling or anything just skin irritation.
Red skin on gout area but no pain
Does anyone else have this issue? The skin on top of my right foot on and near the gout area on my big toe gets very red from time to time. I notice that it is extra red when I take off my socks or after wearing house slippers. Is this a minor attack? The affected area does not swell up like a normal gout attack and there is no pain.
I had my first gout attack back in early September 2017 and did not start on UA medication (Uloric 80 mg) until November. My last major attack was back in early December and have not had a major one yet (fingers crossed). My UA level last time I checked in December was 4 mg/dl.
