ankle problems, should I see a chiropodist or a dermotologist?
I have what appears to be a thick lump of skin on the back of my ankle which wont go away, I have tried bazuca and things like that and it get smaller but it also gets very sore, and eventually grows back to its original size which is very irritating when I am wearing shoes or trainers as they rub against it. I would like to have it checked out and removed if possible so would I be better going to see a chiropodist or a dermatologist?

I'd try a chiropodist if it is a thick lump or pad of skin.

jonny b,
You question indicates that it was originally asked in UK. For that reason, I would suggest that as the NHS provides free medical help/treatment, you first visit your doctor. If the doctor recommends a visit to a private chiropodist then that is what you should do. However the NHS will treat foot problems also so you will have to make your choice. From your description it appears to be caused by friction from your footware. I wish you well.
