Gout is a general term for a variety of conditions caused by a buildup of uric acid. This buildup usually affects your feet. If you don’t treat gout, it can become chronic. Hard lumps called tophi can eventually develop in your joints and the skin and soft tissue surrounding them. These deposits can permanently damage your joints. There are certain foods that are naturally high in purines, which your body breaks down into uric acid. Know what foods and drinks to avoid.
