I?m experiencing a mild burning sensation in my foot. What could be the cause, and what should I do?
A mild burning sensation in the foot may indicate nerve irritation or damage, commonly associated with conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency, nerve compression, or poor circulation. It may also result from long-term alcohol use, excessive pressure, tight footwear, or minor injuries. You should consult a doctor for a detailed evaluation, including blood sugar, vitamin B12 levels, and a neurological examination, to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
