Now we enter the scarier territory. Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves, in this case, the nerves to your feet. Burning is one symptom of peripheral neuropathy, but it can also be a pins and needles sensation, numbness, tickling or tingling. Diabetes is one of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy. If you are experiencing burning feet and haven't had a medical checkup in a while, it is a good idea to stop putting it off and to discuss it with your doctor. Diabetes can come on at any age and it pays to begin addressing it immediately.
Diabetes and alcohol abuse are by far the most common causes of neuropathy in the legs. Besides neuropathy, infections and inflammation of the feet can also cause a burning sensation. The most common of these is athlete's foot, an infection of the skin caused by fungus. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) also commonly causes burning feet. The poor circulation of blood to the feet may frequently cause pain, tingling, and burning feet, especially while walking.
