Numbness in the Feet. Numbness in the feet is a loss of sensation or feeling in the feet, as a result of improper communication between the nerves and the central nervous system. Commonly foot numbness is attributed to a blood shortage in the foot. This occurs when someone is sitting cross-legged for an extended amount of time.
Disorders of the nerves to the feet may cause numbness and burning sensation in the feet known as peripheral neuropathy. Plantar warts commonly found on the bottom of the foot are caused by a virus and can cause irritation. Athlete's foot, which is caused by a fungus, also can lead to foot irritation.
