Burning Sensation in palms & soles

Dainik Bhaskar featured an insightful column by डॉ. वीके गुप्ता, Founder & Senior Neurosurgeon at Silver Streak Multispeciality Hospital, addressing a common yet often overlooked health issue—burning sensation in the palms and soles.

Dr. Gupta explained that this condition can stem from multiple underlying health concerns. A leading cause is diabetic neuropathy, where long-standing diabetes damages nerves, leading to tingling, numbness, and burning pain in the hands and feet. Vitamin deficiencies, especially Vitamin B12 and other B-group vitamins vital for nerve health, are another significant factor.

He also highlighted liver and kidney dysfunction as potential contributors, as the accumulation of toxins in the blood can trigger such symptoms. Stress-related disorders, excessive alcohol consumption, hypothyroidism, and certain medications may further aggravate the condition.

Dr. Gupta advised that timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial. Patients should seek medical evaluation, undergo necessary blood tests, and adopt corrective lifestyle measures. With appropriate medication, dietary adjustments, and management of underlying diseases, relief is possible.

Through his regular health awareness contributions, Dr. V K Gupta continues to guide the community in understanding and addressing neurological health issues effectively.
