what is cause the bottom of feet to burn
Another common cause of burning feet is athlete's foot fungus. Some less common causes include alcoholism, chronic kidney failure, peripheral arterial disease, tarsal tunnel syndrome, Morton's neuroma, vitamin deficiency, HIV or AIDS, complex regional pain syndrome, and gastric bypass surgery.
The causes of burning feet are numerous and varied, ranging from simple fatigue to more serious conditions such as a nerve damage or circulatory issues. Therefore, the underlying cause should be diagnosed as soon as possible to avoid long-term damage and morbidity.
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. Even though your friend was only recently diagnosed with diabetes, if it is the cause of the burning in his feet, then he has probably had impaired glucose tolerance for years now.
