What Causes Redness And Burning Sensation In Toes?
Question: I have red burning toes. One toe is dusky and several have raised swollen tips. Pain that is sharp and burning moderate to severe with shooting pain at times.
Brief Answer:
You need to get your vascular status of feet checked
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. I think it can be due to peripheral vascular disease. In this there is decrease in blood supply of the feet and it causes discolouration of feet with burning pain. Neuropathy can cause pain but very rarely colour change..I would like to know little detail of the illness.
1. Are you smoker or Diabetic?
2.Since when you are seeing this colour changes in feet?
3. Do you have pain only on walking or rest also ?
please send me answers of these questions. I will try my best to help you. thanks
