Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question. Hope I can be of help to you today.

Burning feet can be caused by a sign of nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy). While fatigue or skin infection can cause temporary burning or inflamed feet. Nerve damage can be caused by chronic alcohol use, vitamin B deficiencies, diabetes, and HIV infection, and some side effects of the medicine. There are two separate aspects to the treatment of polyneuropathy: treatment of the underlying disease and alleviation of symptoms related to the illness. See a doctor find out the cause of your feet burning. He may suggest tests like serum uric acid, vitamin B12 levels and other tests.

I hope that It can help you, and please let me know if you have any clarification or questions about that, and I would be welcome to discuss it with you further. I hope you have good health.

Best regards,
Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey, General and Family Physician
