What Causes Burning Sensation In Hands, Feet And Ears?
my hands, feet, and ears feel like their on fire. This normally happens after i shower or work out. My ears look red and they feel hot when people touch them while i feel like its on fire. These fire attacks normally happen at night or evening. This has been happening since i was about 11 yrs old. What do i have?
Burning sensation in hands and feet usually occurs due to vitamin B12 deficiency, however, vitamin B12 deficiency cannot exist for years all together. I suggest you to get vitamin B12 and folic acid levels checked. In case the levels are normal then you need to consult a neurologist else vitamin B12 and folic acid supplements.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
