what causes a burning itching sensation on the foot?
A number of different infections of the feet may also cause a burning sensation. Bacterial infections of the skin, like impetigo, or deeper in the subcutaneous tissue (cellulitis) may present with burning pain among other reasons. Another infectious cause of burning feet is athleteâs foot (tinea pedis). This is a superficial fungal infection of the skin on the feet and is very common. Symptoms like burning feet may also be seen with systemic infections such as HIV infection, even when there is no localized infection of the feet.
By removing the heat source or exposure to it, the burning sensation should subside provided that there is no tissue injury. Injury. Mechanical, chemical and electromagnetic injury can all cause a burning sensation in the feet. Apart from burns, other mechanical injury such as blunt or sharp force trauma can both lead to a burning feet sensation.
