Have Hot Spots On Top Of Feet. Remedy?

I ve noticed the past few days that i ve been experiencing hot spots on the tops of my feet . They aren t painful, but it feels like my skin in being held next to a hot light bulb or something like that. I am concerned, because i m only 19 years old. They come and go randomly, and I haven t figured out anything that will make them go away. Can you please tell me what these are?

Hello there,

Thanks for writing in.

The symptoms you are experiencing fit in with a sort of neuropathy (nerve involvement). It would be ideal if you visit a physician or neurologist and get a thorough neurological examination done.

Any history of stress/ fatigue?
Any history of excessive alcohol consumption?
Do you eat healthy?
Are you wearing ill fitting shoes?

It would be a good idea to check your TSH, blood sugars, hemoglobin levels, Vitamin B12 levels ,as abnormalities in the above values could present with the symptoms you are experiencing currently.

Eat healthy, whole grain food , eggs, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.

In a few percentage of cases with neuropathy, after all tests, no cause is found. If that is the case, be reassured and ignore the hot spots :) Vit B complex supplementation along with good eating habits might help.

I hope I have answered your queries .I will be happy to answer any further queries you might have.

Hope this helps.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Dr.Divya Kuttikrishnan

Hye! It seems that you may be having vascultis, a chronic and relapsing disease . You may feel hotness and burning pain at the lesions. You should consult dermatologist immediately for the diagnosis and proper treatment.
