Unusual sensations such as burning, tingling, or numbness should not be ignored. Although they may appear sporadically, if they persist or intensify, they may indicate underlying problems such as peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, or circulatory disorders. Listening to your body, especially your feet, can allow you to act quickly and potentially prevent complications.

Let’s take a closer look at the three most common symptoms: burning (ardor), tingling (hormigueo), and numbness (entumecimiento).

Burning: A Common Sign of Nerve Disorder
A burning sensation, especially at night, is often linked to peripheral neuropathy, a condition where nerves are damaged. It is often caused by diabetes, but can also be due to excessive alcohol consumption, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid problems, kidney disease, or certain medications.
