    For the past 3 months I have been experiencing a burning sensation in the soles of my feet.
    It feels as though I've been walking barefoot on hot pavement. I can be sitting down on the
    sofa & I have to take my shoes & socks off to get relief. What can cause this?

    Although it is possible that the underlying cause is dermatological or contact sensitivity, most commonly, the cause of such complaints is some sort of neuralgic problem, which could be of disease, metabolic or simply physical nature. See a neurologist for an evaluation, unless you have good reason to believe it is of dermatologic origin, and in that case, then see a dermatologist.
