Burning foot syndrome, also known as Grierson-Gopalan syndrome , is a medical condition that causes severe burns and pain in the feet, hyperesthesia, and vasomotor changes in the feet that cause excessive sweating. It can even affect the eyes, causing scotoma and amblyopia. This condition occurs more frequently in women, and usually manifests itself when a person is between twenty and forty years old.

Presentations

The burning heat is usually limited to the soles of the feet, but may extend down to the ankles or lower legs of some patients. Burning can sometimes be accompanied by a feeling of 'tingling' or tingling in these areas. Nighttime is when almost all people with this syndrome report symptoms of heat being the worst, with conditions getting better as morning comes. Those with psychosomatic disorders sometimes display psychological symptoms along with foot burn associated with the syndrome. For the most part, there is no erythema on the skin of their soles during the heat sensation, and there is hardly any side accompanying it along with it.
