Does anyone know about haglund's deformity or the pump bump? I am a figure skater, and i got it on my heel because of the skate rubbing against it. It's gotten pretty bad, so i was wondering if anyone knew how to make it better, or what type of doctor i would go see?

If surgery is necessary, you need a foot and ankle surgeon. Here is foot and ankle surgeon physician finder:

Here is non-surgical approaches/treatments:

Non-surgical treatment of Haglund鈥檚 deformity is aimed at reducing the inflammation of the bursa. While these approaches can resolve the bursitis, they will not shrink the boney protrusion. Non-surgical treatment can include one or more of the following:

Medication. Anti-inflammatory medications may help reduce the pain and inflammation. Some patients also find that a topical pain reliever, which is applied directly to the inflamed area, is beneficial.

Ice. To reduce swelling, apply a bag of ice over a thin towel to the affected area for 20 minutes of each waking hour. Do not put ice directly against the skin.

Exercises. Stretching exercises help relieve tension from the

Achilles tendon. These exercises are especially important for the patient who has a tight heel cord.

Heel lifts. Patients with high arches may find that heel lifts placed inside the shoe decrease the pressure on the heel.

Heel pads. Placing pads inside the shoe cushions the heel and may help reduce irritation when walking.
