Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is A Wave Of Heat Over My Instep Of The Foot A Concern?
I have felt a wave of heat over my instep of my right foot at various times throughout the day. Never before today have I noticed this. I had an ordinary work day, no falls or injuries. No pain. Just this sensation of heat washing over the top of my foot. Should I be concerned?
Neuropathy or nutritional deficiency could present with such symptoms. Complete blood count, blood sugar levels and serum electrolytes should be tested. Meanwhile, multivitamin injection especially Vitamin-B12 can be administered. Adequate hydration is also required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
