Is it normal having a Bunion as a teen?

Hi! Im a 16 years old teenager and currently jogs everyday to reduce my weight. So, after 2 weeks I started my jogging routine (every morning and evening), my right foot suddenly started feeling sore and it looked like a big bump is growing on my first joint of my big toe. It hurts so much but I keep on jogging until yesterday. It hurts when I'm walking. I dont know what to do. My mum had warned me not to over-exercise but I'm such a stubborn girl and I just continue to jog. But, I really want to shave off some weight :'( Yesterday, it started to swollen a bit but I just ignore it. Should I continue to jog or should I stop for a while? Should I see the doctor? How can I cure this problem without having a surgery? :'(

P/S: I do have time intervals on jogging. I mean like, today I ran 20 min in morning and 20 min in the evening and rest the next day. But, currently I jog almost everyday. :'( And, it hurts when Im walking but less hurt when I'm running.
