Foot sweating causes burning foot pain while walking?

Question

My feet burn if I walk more than about 20 minutes. I have had this foot problem for several years and it bothers me immensley, I have flat feet and went to a podiatrist and he gave me orthotics - no help at all. Weird thing, I can walk forever with sandels, all over New York City for days no problem. After thinking about every symptom, the only thing I can isolate is that with shoes, my feet start sweating instantly and socks become very wet and damp, this is the only thing I can think of that would be the reason my feet burn when walking with shoes. If I wear socks on top of each other for more absorption it seems to ease the pain. I am wandering if anyone knows what this is, also I dont wear shoes often so if I started weraing them all the time maybe eventually feet would stop sweating?

Answer 1

There are a number of possibilities such as a condition called hyperhidrosis (excess sweating).

I would recommend consulting your primary care physician as well to have them evaluate the situation further to see what they think could be going on.

Answer 2

Apply cold, adding ice if necessary. Do ice for at least 5 min. Cooling reduces injury from the burn & also relieves pain. Apply petroleum jelly or burn ointments available in drug stores to protect the burned skin. Cover the burn. Use a sterile gauze dressing held on with tape or an elastic bandage will protect the burned area & make it more comfortable. No dressing is needed if the burn is very small. Relieve the pain with aspirin or other mild pain relieves. Use every 4 hrs. Make dr appt or go to an emergency med treatment ctr for evaluation. Burns on hands or face can be worse than they appear.
