Not mine but does anyone have any idea what they are?

Not painful now but were in the past. They are getting bigger though.

Please don't mention seeing GP appointments are like hens teeth.

Are they painful?

I know you said not to say it, but you really need to get a GP appointment.
Failing that, do you have a walk in centre?

Interested in this thread?

Could they be a Lipoma? No one can tell you from a photo what they are so you really need to see the GP and they should never deny you an appointment for a growth that is changing in size.

Could be Dupuytren contracture and Dupuytren of the foot.

I have Dupuytren contracture in my right hand as the result of a broken hand a few years ago but there are other causes.

The foot one is otherwise known as Plantar Fibromatosis or Ledderhose disease

This is my ganglion - basically where the joint fluid leaks out into a cyst. Mine isn't particularly painful, and I can massage the contents back into the joint. It doesn't particularly hurt, unless I knock it. Are they painful? Could they be ganglions?

Sorry for the fuzzy photo! Have attached a couple of better images. They're lovely, are t they? Confused

Looks like Dupuytren's contracture (hands) and Lederhosen's disease (feet). I have both, in both of my hands and both feet. One of my hands is very badly affected, with complete contracture of 3 fingers (look at photographs of Bill Nighy...he has the condition too). Lederhosen's is also known as Plantar Fibroma (lumps in the plantar fascia).
