The only thing he could try and do is

Over night wrap his foot by the big toe joint over to the little toe joint with an 3" wide "ACE" bandage "real real real" tight.

There is only a Small chance this will help but in early stages on the bunion it has delayed surgery.

I don't see how massaging a bunion would help at all. It may help relieve the tension built up in his foot because it's painful to walk. What you need to do is tell him he needs to get help from amedical professional. While you are willing to help somewhat, you are only 13 and shouldn't be taking care of your father. He should be a responsible adult and get the care he needs.

Let him `massage' his own foot
