Plastic or pod: If its on the foot, usually a podiatrist but a plastic surgeon can also remove a callus. Good luck.

Corn: First , corns are not deeply rooted. The first thing to do is seek the help of a podiatrist who will accurately diagnose the cause of the corn and will guide you with appropriate treatment. Best of luck !

Multiple: This is an area with lots of overlap between different fields, including ortho, plastics and podiatry. If you have already had surgery with ortho, that is where i would start. Alternatively podiatry focuses purely on the foot and might not be a bad idea to try for a 2nd opinion.
