What Causes Burning Sensation On The Fingers?
Question: I am feeling burning sensation on my left hand index finger since last few days. what could it be?
Brief Answer:
You need evaluation...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
No, I would not be able to identify the cause without physical examination and evaluation. Therefore if the burning sensation continues, it will be advisable to see your local doctor. You will need to undergo blood test - blood sugar, vitamin B12, vitamin D, TSH and others. An xray may also be ordered.
For now, you can observe the condition. Take plenty of fluids. Include fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. Vitamin supplements will provide additional benefits.
Hope this helps.
