Q: I have burning sensation on the soles of my feet and it gets severe in summers. The doctor says it is normal to happen in summers. My soles feel so hot that I cannot do any work; putting ice or mehndi (henna) helps. What is it?

A:Burning of hands and feet is often seen in Diabetics - it would be a good idea to get a blood sugar examination done also taking of Vit. E 600 mgs per day helps.
