What kind of growths grow below the skin?

on the bottom of my foot there is a growth or cyst of somesort located on the tendon for my big toe along the arch of my foot. It is fleshy and seems to have stopped growing but it is big enough to get my attention. I know I need to see a podiatrist about this, but I'm curious now. What could this be?

It might be something called a neuroma. It might be benign, but don't take chances. Neuromas grow from the nerve to the connective tissue on the bone. They get real painful. I had several removed from my ankle and the surgeon said that chances are they come back.
