What is the cause of feeling of burn of skin (specially on feet) ?!


Question: If this is a persistent sensation, this sounds like peripheral neuropathy, which is most-commonly associated with diabetes (type II is the most common). Peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes is caused by nerve damage when too much glucose (sugar) builds up in the blood stream, causing permanent damage to the nerve fibers.

Peripheral neuropathy can also be caused by a long-term lack of vitamin B-12 (which is usually caused by the body's inability to absorb it, not a dietary lack of it -- unless someone is a vegan), but this is much, much less common.

Both conditions require blood tests to determine your blood glucose levels and blood serum cobalamin (vitamin b-12) levels.

Mostly it is due to weakness or lack of rest. It can be due to dehydration as well.
