Burning, tingling, or numbness might signal nerve damage (neuropathy). Because this is a common complication of diabetes, ask your doctor whether you should be tested for the disease.

Otherwise, you might not notice an injury or infection right away. It’s also important to wear shoes that fit well and to avoid going barefoot.
