hi, thanks for your query.A burning sensation in your feet may be caused by nerve damage in the legs, also called neuropathy. Although many medical conditions can cause burning feet, diabetes is the most common. Most burning feet treatments focus on preventing further nerve damage and reducing pain.Diabetes is by far the most common cause of neuropathy in the legs. In a few people whose burning feet is sudden, rapidly worsening, or has no explainable cause, further testing may be needed to make a correct diagnosis. These tests may include:

Electromyography (EMG) ,nerve conduction studies.The most important treatment for burning feet due to neuropathy is to stop any ongoing nerve damage.Specific burning feet treatments in these conditions include:

Vitamin deficiency. Taking additional vitamin B12
Alcoholism. Stopping excessive alcohol intake,
Hypothyroidism treatment.visit neurologist for further treatment.hope this is helpful.
