Burning Feet

Understanding Burning Feet

The main cause of burning feet is nerve damage, but it is also caused by alcohol abuse, athlete’s foot, chronic kidney disease, complex regional pain syndrome, deficiencies in vitamins, folic acids, or iron, HIV infection, and hypothyroidism. Symptoms from burning feet that are caused by nerve damage include sensations, feeling of insects crawling on the skin, intense stabbing feeling, burning in the feet, keeping the sufferer awake at night, and muscle weakness. Bullous Tinea Pedis is the secondary cause of athlete’s foot, when the blisters break, ulcers develop, Chemo Tinea Pedis, a microscopic fungus that attacks the hair, nails, and skin. This person is getting chemotherapy. There is also the chronic cutaneous diffuse, one solid rash.
