Since there is no visible bruising, I infer that you basically have a burning irritation sort of sensation. Burning feet, or paresthesias, is the term used to describe a hot, painful, “pins and needles” sensation in the feet. Such a thing generally happens due to nerve damage which could be the result of conditions like diabetes. I insist that you visit a dermatologist and get it examined. He would be able to pinpoint the possible causes based on his findings.
