why do my feet feel hot

Feet can feel hot for several reasons ranging from simple to more serious causes. Common reasons include nerve damage or neuropathy (often linked to diabetes), poor circulation, fungal infections like athlete’s foot, vitamin deficiencies (especially B vitamins), and hormonal changes such as those during menopause or pregnancy. Other possible causes include kidney disease, thyroid imbalances, prolonged standing or wearing synthetic shoes, exposure to toxins, or certain medical conditions like Guillain-Barré syndrome or chronic inflammatory diseases. If the heat sensation is persistent, painful, or accompanied by other symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical evaluation for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
