Default Nodule on bottom of foot below little toe

About two weeks ago I began having pain on the bottom of my right foot [u]directly under my little toe and found what felt like - a small hard nodule under the skin that I can move but hurts when I press on it. It is painful especially when my foot 'leans' to the right side which puts pressure on this swollen are. I am 59 & never had this before. I wonder what this could be?

************************************************** *********

Hard, mobile nodules which are attached to tendons or may arise from joint tissues might be ganglionic or synovial cysts, but, as I always caution, all lumps MUST be evaluated by a hands-on examination to rule out unlikely but serious problems such a a malignancy. In any event, an accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment, whatever the problem might be, and definitive diagnosis is not an appropriate function of Internet forums. So, instead of wondering, see a well-chosen podiatrist.
