Sounds like bunions to me too. My Mom had surgery and was glad she did. Same with a coworker. Go to a podiatrist and see she s/he has to say about it. Maybe yours isn't severe enough to require surgery, but the doctor may have suggestions on how to prevent it from getting worse. Heels definitely aggravate bunions.
