Haglund's Deformity (Back of Heel Bump)

Haglund's deformity is a bony bump where your Achilles tendon attaches at the back of your heel bone. Also known as a "pump bump," it is usually caused by shoes repetitively rubbing against your heel. Because of its prominence, the bump is subject to constant friction, causing redness, pain, swelling, and callouses.
