My roommate just recently noticed a growth on the bone of her foot right below her achilles tendon. It is hard and looks disturbing, so we wanted to figure out what it was. Please help!

Well is it painful? Hard? Rubber like? Soft feel?
it can be anything from neuroma to scar tissues of tendon due to overuse...
Too little information to ascertain what it may be. Sorry.

Sounds like either a callous or a cist. If she's worried about it she should check with her doctor.

It's probably my ex-wife. She always seems to pop up in the most inconvenient (and most unusual) places!
