I have something on my foot that's been pestering me for a few weeks.

I suspect I stepped on a piece of glass that's embedded under the skin, or it's some kind of small plantar wart, of which I've had before. It hasn't really grown though which makes me think it's the glass, and I had a glass cup break in my room (though I don't really remember stepping on anything).

I don't have health insurance, which of a dermatologist or podiatrist would be more appropriate/cheaper?

You probably want a dermatologist either way. Podiatrists are much more musculoskeletal.

Oh like I said it was shallow. There was some dried skin over it which made me think it was unreachable, but a hot water soak opened it up and it was easy after that. Really tiny piece.

It's probably a good idea to clean up the area around where the glass broke again since it's possible you missed something the first time.
