What Do Burning Sensation And Pain On The Foot Indicate?
Hi. Recently my toes and the top of my foot have been burning. After the burning subsides, it tingles for awhile and then goes away. It has been happening more often and is becoming more painful. I do not have diabetes or other illnesses. Any ideas or suggestions?
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Well this may be a beginning of leg cellulitis which is inflammation of subcutaneous tissues and may develop into diabetic foot or even diabetic gangrene so any swelling, redness or pain in legs in someone who has diabetes should be evaluated by medical professionals since antibiotics may have to be started as soon as possible to prevent spreading of infection. He should do at least basic blood tests and blood sugar to see if there is significant infection or not. Other causes include deep vein thrombosis or lymph edema and these should be checked with an ultrasound exam. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
