Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
Where the bulge is located? If the bulge feels bony and is located on middle of inner border of feet it can be accessory navicular bone. I would like to advise Xray of involved foot anteroposterior and oblique views to confirm diagnosis. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. If it's painful and hurting you while movement it can be excised by surgery. If it's only just swelling and not causing any problem it can be left alone. Cost of surgery varies from center to center. Please take visit to expert foot surgeon nearby you and get yourself examined. All the best.
