Do I Need an Orthopedic Surgeon? Or a Podiatrist?

Do I Need an Orthopedic Surgeon? Or a Podiatrist?

Hello. I am a 33-year-old male.

On my right foot, I have what I thought was a big callus. However, I
recently saw my dermatologist, and he said that part of what I have is
a callus and that the rest is a cyst.

He recommended that I see an orthopedic surgeon. I asked whether I
should see a podiatrist instead. The dermatologist said that he
believes that this is an orthopedic issue.

So, do I see an orthopedic surgeon? Or a podiatrist?

Thanks for any help.

This is a no-brainer. Foot structure is one thing. A cyst involves
surgery.
