Along with a burning feeling, burning feet can also cause mild to severe pain and even redness and inflammation of the area. Usually, it has been found that people face this trouble at night.

Here are some common causes associated with burning feet. Certain medical conditions like diabetes, hypothyroidism and arthritis can be a cause for burning feet.

Certain infections like Athlete’s feet are also one of the major causes of burning feet. However, in the case of Athlete’s foot, you’ll face discomfort and burning sensation only around the area that is affected by the fungal infection.

Burning feet has also been linked with some kind of nerve damage which in turn can be a result of some other underlying medical problem.

When your feet are overstrained and tired, they can lead to a burning sensation. Also, burning feet can be attributed to the kinds of shoes and socks one wears.
