I am experiencing the same thing. Never had that feeling before. The area that suddenly feeels hot for three seconds or so is about
two inches across and always on the left foot above the middle toes. Has happened about 20 times in three days now. 53 old female. No other complains.

I too am experience a hot flush just on the top of my left foot. It might happen up to half a dozen times a day, at various times when I'm doing various things. Very weird. Feels a bit like someone just pouring a cup full of luke warm water on top of my foot. Only last 3-5 seconds. No other flushes anywhere. 39yo male, reasonably healthy. Any Ideas?

I am a 54 year old female experiencing the hot flash on the top of my feet. It lasts for few seconds, several times a day. What could be causing this to happen?

Well thank goodness it's not just me - I thought i must be going mad! For the last few days I've been getting what can only be described as a "hot flash" on the top of my right foor, between the toes and the middle of the foot. Like some above, it only lasts a few seconds, but very strange. I'm a 43 year old female. I too would like to know what's causing this.

I am experiencing the same thing, and sadly I am only 22 years old (male). My symptoms are in my right foot and I get this burning/hot feeling in my foot. It lasts only for a few moments and then vanishes. There is no warning for it and happens, on average, at least 30 times a day for me.

I'm an IT technician so I'm skilled with computers, and after doing comprehensive research on the Internet I discovered 3 possible causes for having hot flashes/burning sensations in your feet.

1) Venous Disease - Basically, you could have a blood clot in your legs that could be causing the problem. If you are also noticing reddish spots or spider/Vericous veins on your ankles then this is most likely the problem. Swelling of your feet or ankles is also a symptom.

2) Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy - Yes, it's true, this problem could be a result of Diabetes. According to my research, Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy can cause your nerves to misfire, and as a result cause you to feel a burning pain/hot flash in your foot. The best way to treat this is to treat the diabetes. If left untreated you could suffer worsening pain as a result of the nerves misfiring.

3) Peripheral Neuropathy - Same as above except not related to diabetes. 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!

My hands and feet get hot and tingly. I am afraid I have "Peripheral Neuropathy" - I guess I'll go see a doctor. I hope this isn't serious, and that I can heal easily. It's not very painful, just uncomfortable weird feeling.

Best not to self-dx...could be deadly. A through exam by a qualified physician / specialist would be ideal

I made an appointment with my doctor. She can't see me until Dec. - about 2 months from now.

Is it OK to wait that long? I am worried. Peripheral Neuropathy sounds scary.
My hands feel weird.

thanks itdude86, i am a 20yr old female and have been experiencing a hot area on my right foot for the last 2 weeks. i wasnt too worried about it until i read your post, i am now booking a doctors appointment and a blood test.
hopefully all is good but thankyou again for the info

well im a 17year old girl and since monday i have been getting a feeling of warm water being poured on my left foot and it lasts about 4 seconds! its really weird and its freaking me out!

im going to make a doctors appointment x

i am a 44 year old male ex US Military now living in Australia, served in Somalia, iRaq and Afghanistan wars but never came back a human. Now all i do is play on the computer 24/7 since i lost my job as well as drifting from job to jobs, exacerbated by the fact that our Oil Rig The West Atlas got burnt down by fire off Timor Sea in Australia.

I noticed a few times my left foot swelled up i thought it was because i am too lazy to move around and sat on my computer 24/7 for 12 months straight.

I am over weight by 10 kilos i really should be around 74 but i am almost 84kg

My feet always feels like someone poured really hot water on them and they are always hot for at least until i get off my lazy butt and walk around but even then i still feel a lot of hot flash like heat on my feet.

Am i dying? I don't care if i die because i deserve to die i hate my life and myself.

Sometimes i feel a short sharp pain on my lower left top part of my forearm too.


I am a 44 year old loser and wanting to die anyway. I just hate this forsaken world that is so cruel to children that are caught in the world of Greed and Oil for gain.
