Thanks to all for their suggestions.
I have use BioFreeze, which helps when my feet are burning.
I find that most of the time, when my feet start burning (usually due to pressure such as shoes and socks), they actually feel hot to the touch. What are your experiences with this?

I have the problem where it will feel like my feet are burning, usually it’s always the ball of my right foot, along the middle crease line. Currently, I have a wound care specialist, who comes to my home twice a week to tend to a small hole in my left foot. Aside from neuropathy, recently, I was diagnosed with Charcot; I’m still not 100% sure what the heck it is but know it’s extremely painful and severely limits my walking. Anyway, I will get the burning sensation when I’m not wearing socks or shoes and just laying in bed watching television. I’m constantly in pain due to the Charcot but the neuropathy pain is a totally different type of pain and discomfort-especially with the numbness and burning sensations. My doctor prescribed gabapentin but it doesn’t seem to be helping with the nerve pain; hence, the consistent burning and numbness. For me, it’s the burning that’s more bothersome, which is what brought me here; I’m hoping to find something to help alleviate the pain I have to deal with. Oh, my feet aren’t usually hot when I get the burning sensation. Now, my husband, he has that problem; he says it feels like his feet are always sweating.
