A ‘Durlachers corn‘ is a specific type of pressure corn that develops about the small toe. It is similar to almost every other corn that's resulting from too much pressure, however what is different concerning this corn is that it is pressed up on the side of the nail for the little toe and will often be wrongly identified as a toe nail. This kind of corn is termed after Lewis Durlacher (1792-1864) who was a chiropodist in the UK. In the USA, this particular kind of corn is named the Lister’s corn. Any kind of corn on the feet are a spot of skin build-up in response to far too much pressure. Once this pressure on the skin is higher, the actual skin will become thicker to guard itself and eventually the skin gets so thick it becomes painful. Exactly the same process takes place in the Durlacher corn, the greater pressure on fifth toe next to the nail brings about the corn. There can be a number of reasons for this increased pressure to the little toe. It can be due to a kind of deformity of the fifth toe. It may be caused by an bigger bone tissue in the fifth toe. It could be a result of the dimensions of the shoes, in particular the dimensions of the toe area. Any of these variables may result in increased pressure to cause the Durlacher corn. The typical signs and symptoms are increasing pain beside the toenail on the small toe as well as on assessment it simply looks like an additional piece of nail. This very much the same look has brought about some to point out that this is really a nail rather than a pressure Durlacher corn.
The treatment for Durlacher corns will have to be directed at the sources of the higher pressures. It is easy to eliminate the corn and a Podiatrist can easily eliminate the corn to provide immediate alleviation. However, that is not really the answer since the pressure which brought on the corn to begin with continues and the corn should recur once again unless something is carried out to remove that increased pressure that is inducing the problem. It is really an issue in all corns which means that if what ever caused the corn to begin with remains it is going to come back again and will need to be eliminated or it's going to hurt yet again. Corns on the foot do not have roots which they re-grow from if the root is left in. They come back again because what brought about all of them (the higher pressure) is still there. The medicated corn patches with acids within them are not likely to be helpful as they just eat away the corn along with normal skin and do nothing to deal with the main cause of pressure triggering the Durlachers corn. That increased pressure can be addressed by using adhesive felt pads, silicone gel tube pads or even custom moulded silicone pads which will get pressure off of the location or alter the position with the toe. The pressure could be relieved with the aid of much better fitting shoes. It also can mean a operative removing with the bigger section of bone tissue which is creating the pressure.
