Lump on big toe (includes toe pics)

I've developed a swelling/ lump on my big toe. It's on the top, between the nail and the knuckle. It's round, not particularly hard or soft and doesn't seem to have fluid in it. It doesn't hurt but feels inflamed/ bruised when I'm sitting on my knees. It's hard to get a good pic, I'm definitely not taking about the hard calloused skin on the side of my toe. The problem is my left toe; I've added a pic of my right toe for comparison. Do I see a GP about this? And whilst you're here: I'm developing hammer toes in both my second toes. Again, how do I get help for this? Neither issue is bothering me enough to want to make a GP appointment, but too much not to do anything.

Could you (like many of us) fit the description of "fair fat and forty"? Because it could be gout. Alternatively arthritis (I know Shock) but I get more pain than you seem to be describing. Certainly book in with GP.

Ouch, yes 😅 38, proud natural blonde and vv overweight! I'd heard of female/ fair/ fat/ forty as a risk for gallstones (got rid of those 15 years ago), didn't know it was a risky look for other things as well😂 Will contact GP in the morning (they don't take eConsults OOH🙄)
