My father wakes up with burning feet mostly at night and has to run them under the tub with cold water to get?

Answer 1

Clearly have his blood sugar checked. Also it could be a heart problem so make sure his BP is checked and his doctor will direct you to further testing.

My mom has high blood sugar and has been complaining of cold feet and tingling.

Have him looked after just to be on the safe side.

Answer 2

I would make sure that he has a complete physical with blood work. Neuropathy (nerve pain), especially in the feet can be a sign of diabetes (or other problems). Also he may just have a topical infection such as athletes foot but I would not bet on this because it seems to cause severe pain.

Answer 3

if your fathers feet are also red as well as a burning it could simply be that he as a form of dermatitis if the skin is red patches and itchy it could be athletes foot he could also have an allergy to the type of shoes hes wearing , whatever the cause he needs to see a doc to confirm the problem in order to receive the proper treatment , make an appointment the sooner the better . good luck

Answer 4

He had what sounds like a peripheral neuropathy.
Look for B12 deficiency, diabetes, swollen legs. How is the circulation to hhis legs does he smoke?
