Aug 22, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Hot hands and feet can manifest itself as a painful tingling or burning sensation. Hot hands and feet are typically aroused by a nerve disorder that can be caused by a number of underlying conditions. Treating the underlying condition can relieve this discomfort.

Hot hands and feet can refer to a warm sensation or a painful tingling in the limbs. This is often made worse at night, making it difficult to sleep, though performing physical activities can also cause this condition to appear. People 45 and older are more likely to develop hot, red or burning hands and feet than other age groups. In many cases this condition is temporary, but certain conditions can cause this condition to become permanent.

There are a number of conditions that can cause the hands and feet to develop an uncomfortable burning sensation. Evaluating your other symptoms will help you narrow down the cause so you can get adequate treatment.

>Erythromelalgia- This condition is known to cause a burning pain, redness or increase in temperature in the hands and feet. These symptoms will begin as a tingling or itching that will slowly progress to a painful burning sensation. .

>Carpal or Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome- These conditions are very similar in nature. Each causes pressure to build up on the joints, leading to a burning sensation in the hands and feet due to the compression on the nerves.

>Hypothyroidism is a condition that is caused when the thyroid is not producing enough of the necessary hormones. If this is left untreated it can cause the joints to develop a hot or burning sensation, which can manifest itself strongly in the hands and feet.

>Kidney Dysfunction- If the kidneys are not functioning the way they should it can lead to a burning sensation throughout the body. This is caused when the body is unable to rid itself of cell waste through the bloodstream, leading to a buildup of waste.

>Liver Damage- On a similar note, waste and toxins can build up in the body if the liver is not filtering them away the way it should.

>Damage to the nerves can cause an uncomfortable burning sensation to appear. This symptom will typically begin in the limbs before spreading throughout the body. Conditions such as diabetes can cause this damage to appear. Managing these underlying conditions will be a key to eliminating your discomfort.

> Menopause is the point in life when a woman stops having a monthly period. This causes a flux in hormone levels that can lead to unpleasant side effects throughout the body, including a burning or tingling system in the limbs.

>Athlete's Foot- This is a fungal infection that grows between the toes and on the heel. As the infection spreads, the fungus can cause the skin to become very dry, itchy and red, leading to a stinging pain on the feet.

>Consuming excessive amounts of alcohol can cause pain in the hands and feet as the body begins to deteriorate. In many cases, eliminating alcohol intake can cause this condition to cease over time.

> A diet that is low in B1, B5, B6 and B12 can cause a burning sensation to develop in the hands and feet. This is caused when the body is unable to maintain the nervous system properly. Adjusting your diet or taking supplements to increase your vitamin intake can help eliminate these symptoms.
