I searched this topic on this site, but all I find is several people with the same feeling, but no answers to what can be causing it. I suddenly started having a feeling of warmth on my left foot. Any reason for this?
Many people experience the feeling of heat that comes suddenly and usually affects only one foot. This heat sensation leaves those affected puzzled because they can't identify the clear cause of it. Many came to this discussion with a same question.
I just started to have this sudden heat feeling in my right leg but didn't find any answer do you know what may be the cause?
The sensation has been described as a rapid blood flow that warms the foot by many participants in the discussion.
the sensation feels as if a vein has suddenly allowed blood to flow through at a rapid rate, something akin to poor circulation?
I thought maybe it was just my blood flowing, but why only my right foot all of sudden?
For most people who experienced this sensation, the feeling of warmth came and went in "waves." The foot would just heat up noticeably and then the sensation would vanish. The majority of participants reported that the feeling usually occurs in left foot. Also, the sensation is painless; it is described as a sudden warmth that quickly goes away. Some wondered if there's underlying health condition causing this that they should be worried about.
The discussion mostly focused on identifying culprits.
I run 10km 5x a week so I'm thinking it could be overuse?
I wonder if it might be related to pedicures and the scrapping of the foot sole?
Several participants noted that the sensation might have occurred after wearing the shoes that were tied too tight or wearing tight socks. The participants who don't wear tight shoes or socks but still have the warm feeling in their foot, dismissed the connection.
Others blamed poor blood circulation in the feet, vitamin B12 deficiency, as well as sciatica and back pain.
People diagnosed with diabetes reported the warm sensation in their foot as the result of their condition.
Participants who went to the doctor got an explanation that number of things could cause the sensation, ranging from neuropathy (diabetic or other), diabetes, poor circulation, inflammation, surgery, restless leg syndrome, kidney disease, vitamin deficiency, vitamin B6 overdose, chemotherapy drugs, metal poisoning, edema, to hypertension and more.
What do experts say?
Warm sensation in the feet is very common and can be present in mild or severe form. In addition, this warm sensation in feet may be accompanied by tingling or numbness in the feet. A warm sensation in the feet may indicate problems in blood circulation, nerve damage, or some chronic condition. While fatigue or a skin infection can cause temporarily burning or inflamed feet, warm or burning feet are most often a sign of nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy). Whatever the cause is, it needs to be properly identified and treated accordingly.
Possible causes for painless warm sensation in feet
The warm sensation in feet usually doesn't indicate anything serious and may be caused by one of the following:
- Footwear that is too tight or does not fit properly, such as tight shoes, socks or stockings that can irritate sensitive feet or put pressure on certain parts of the foot, causing warm sensation
- Contact dermatitis, usually resulting from skin irritation due to dyes or chemical agents used to tan leather
- Allergies to materials used to make shoes or socks.
- Stress due to exercise or physical injury.
Warm sensation in feet could be also a result of certain health conditions that require medical attention, including:
- Peripheral neuropathy - Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common causes of warm or burning feet. This type of neuropathy is the nerve damage located in the legs and feet. Peripheral neuropathy often occurs in people with diabetes who report it as a burning feeling in their feet.
- Diabetes - In people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, the years of uncontrolled high blood sugar can gradually damage the blood vessels and nerves, particularly those in legs and feet.
- Poor blood circulation - The blood clot that may occur in varicose veins on legs may also cause a disturbance in the blood circulation and lead to warm sensation in the feet. Poor blood circulation may also occur in peripheral artery disease in which arteries are narrowed resulting in reduced blood flow to the limbs.
- Restless leg syndrome - This condition which makes the legs move involuntarily especially at night is often connected with warm sensation in feet.
- Athlete's foot - This is a type of fungal infection of the foot which leads to inflammation and may cause a warm sensation in the affected foot.
- Hypertension - The high blood pressure can cause warm sensation in the feet caused by decreased circulation and reduced temperature in the extremities.
- Hypothyroidism - The decrease in the secretion of thyroid hormones seen in hypothyroidism may cause a swelling all over the body which exerts pressure on the nerves leading to warm or burning sensation.
- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome - This condition is caused by a compression of the tibial nerve passing through the tarsal tunnel on the inner side of the feet and ankle, which may occur due to tumor, swelling, and cyst and result in warm sensation of the foot.
- Burning Feet Syndrome (Grierson-Gopalan Syndrome)
- Spinal problems, such as spinal stenosis
- Vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels)
- Chronic kidney disease (uremia)
- Alcohol abuse
- Vitamin deficiency (vitamin B12, folate, and occasionally vitamin B6)
- Drug side effects, including chemotherapy drugs
- Vitamin B6 overdose
- Infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, Lyme disease, syphilis, and shingles
Diagnosis of warm sensation in feet
The doctor would first conduct a physical exam to indicate possible problems in your feet or legs such as fungal infection, redness of skin, reflexes, and lack of feeling or sensation. Your doctor would then ask you about your medical history, including any medications you’re taking.
The doctor may also order several tests, including:
- Imaging test, such as X-rays, CT scan, or MRI scan to rule out injuries, nerve entrapment, or soft tissue masses
- Blood and urine tests to check for diabetes and vitamin levels
- Skin samples which are taken to check the skin condition such as athlete's foot
- Nerve tests, such as electromyography (EMG) may be ordered to check the transmission capacity of the nerves
Treatment of warm sensation in feet
A warm sensation in feet usually doesn't require any treatment. However, treatment for underlying condition may be required if the warm sensation is a result of it. The things you can do to help relieve the symptoms may include:
- wearing comfortable footwear
- wearing socks made of cotton to prevent sweating
- changing socks frequently
- taking care of feet hygiene
- wearing insoles
- using creams and ointments to soothe the pain
- taking warm relaxing baths for feet

- I have factor five genetic disorder which has lead to several dvts.
- My doctor said there are a number of things that could cause it from neuropathy (diabetic or other), diabetes, poor circulation, inflammation, surgery, restless leg syndrome, kidney disease, Vitamin Deficiency, Vitamin B6 overdose, chemo drugs, metal poisoning, edema and hypertension to name a few.
- She said it could be a nerve thing that is making it happen.
- I contacted my podiatrist but she stated that she has never heard of a fibroma causing a warm sensation.
- Been getting same just had doctor tell me got diabetes type, 2" maybe worth getting test
- I remember feeling warmth in my left leg, like feeling blood rushing down my leg (not painful at all) 15 years ago right before I found out I had a malignant tumor in my bladder and I always wondered if it was somehow related but never got this confirmed.
- When I was having cellulitis (staph) issues in my left foot 2 years ago, I had a similar sensation at times, particularly after I'd eaten cow dairy, but that was also accompanied by itchy and slightly swollen feet which is not happening at all with what's happening now.
- lately have had the same feeling hot foot, but I am a type 3 diabetic and my sugar recently has spiked so I am sure for me its due to the that, have you checked your blood sugar
- It began after I had a course of steroids for an unrelated inflamation.
- I also received a cortisone injection in my right knee but that was weeks ago.
- Well that's interesting because I have recently been feeling the sensation of heat in my left toes and I too received a cortisone injection in my right knee weeks ago.
- Its been about 3 months of blood thinners which i am supposed to come off of now, but am suddenly getting the hot flashes in the foot and maybe my calf.

- I had exactly the same thing after a steroid injection which lasted a while.
- I started having this sensation for a week now, only thing different is I was put on a new blood pressure med.
- This could also be due to drug side effects, including vitamin B6 overdose, chemotherapy drugs, HIV medicines, amiodarone and more.

What was reported to help relieve symptoms?
- The best way to treat this is to treat the diabetes.
- After I loosened up my shoes, the sensation went away.
- I think we all just need to get up and walk around occaionally.
- I'm thinking I will try to do more foot stretching exercises during my sedentary time in uni classes.
- Be sure they have arch support.
- So I have to eat more cool foods, melons, fruits and green veggies.
- AVOID heat producers like sugars, especially soft drinks.
- I believe it has something to do with poor blood circulation try staying away from fatty foods
- I'd suggest a appointment with your primary care doctor ASAP.
- Check your feet and look for marks made by the socks or shoes.

- but I would have your circulation checked.
- I got a good pair of shoes and wear compression socks.
- Peripheral Neuropathy can be caused by other diseases and problems in your body.IMO, if you are overweight and/or generally unhealthy (like I am), then I would look into numbers 1 and 2 as these would most likely fit your classification.If you consider yourself to be generally healthy and in good physical condition then I would look into number 3 and try to find other reason as to the cause of your Peripheral Neuropathy.Hope this helps!
- youth beware.
- I sit at desks for 1 hour and 30 minutes, and then get 5 minutes of walking before class starts again, so when the warmness starts, just get up and do something like sharpen your pencil or get a tissue.
- I did some research and here's the summary to the reasons i found (Most likely to less likely)1- Compressed or trapped nerve (Due to bad shoes)2- Bad blood circulation (Sitting for long hours)3- Diabetes If there's swelling, see a doctor.
- The best thing to cure that is to buff the feet with a foot buffer ( looks like a big emery board on a paddle) after a shower then apply diabetic foot balm or Vaseline and socks for about 2-3 hours around bedtime.
- In short if you are around 30 overweight and have this problem then try to lose weight.
