I have on my right foot what I thought was a big callus. However, a
dermatologist has told me that part of what I have is a callus and the
rest of it is a cyst.

He told me to see an orthopedic surgeon. I asked whether I should see
a podiatrist instead. He told me that he felt that this was an
orthopedic issue.

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

By the way, I am a 33-year-old male.

If the GP says orthopedic surgeon then I would suggest an orthopedic
surgeon!

Actually, it was a dermatologist.

Anyway, the dermatologist has seen the foot. We haven't. If he says see
an orthopod, go say an orthopod.
