I suffer from this too, its a real pain, seem to get it more at night time, to the extent it keeps me awake. I've found that running cold water on them for a few minutes seems to work, the Body Shop peppermint foot spray is good for a cooling effect. Try keeping your feet out of bed.
As for it being hereditary, I think so, as my Mother and daughter also suffer from it.
Good luck, if you find anything that helps let me know, I'd be grateful. x

been living in southern Africa for the last 4 years. 'Hot Hot' as you can imagine! On the worst nights the only way i survived was to run a bath in the early evenin and at about 2 am and again at 5 am I would hop into it and ten get back into bed dripping wet - with wet hair.
That DID help with hot feet - but by far the best thing was buying a cheap hot water bottle and filling it with ice cold water, popping it in the freezer for 3-4 hours and then putting it on your feet.
After 3-6 months you may find the 'hot' water bottle isnt so effective, hence the need to only buy new ones.
Another thing is propping your feet up - to slow down the blood flow which heats up your feet.
I do fear it is inherited - its about blood circulation in relation to extremities. I suffer from hot feet - and (funnily enough) at the same time, a freezing cold bum! My father, myself and my toddler daughter have exactly the same and people often comment on it (not that I let strangers fondle my feet or bum too often!)

I suffer with hot feet. I sit on the side of the bath and run the cold tap over them or get the shower head and do the same. I don't know if it's a condition or just unlucky. Body shop peppermint foot lotion is good too as well as body shop foot spray.

i have been told that if you have hot feet then it makes you feel hot,try and keep your feet bare and maybe try a lukewarm bowl of water to place your feet in,never heard of hot feet being inherited

Hello,
I was a neuropathy sufferer. I was not able to use my keyboard anymore because of the pain on my hands. I had very good results with this natural program to cure nerves pain: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=569
Cheers ;)

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.

I would love hot feet. Mine are permanently cold. Do you think if we got together the kids would be just right?

put deodorant on them, buy a separate one for your feet though, you can also put rubbing alcohol on them won't hurt at all unless you have a cut.
