what causes feet to burn
Lee Sanders, DPM, responds: A painfully hot or burning sensation in the feet, especially in middle-aged and older people, could be caused by small fiber neuropathy. Diabetes is the most common cause of this condition; symptoms typically start with burning feet and numb toes.hough this sensation is not uncommon in people with diabetes, hot or burning feet can have many other causes. Since your friend says his feet feel very hot from time to time, but not all the time, he and his doctor should rule out other causes. A person's occupation and footwear are frequently responsible for hot feet.
