Water soaks up heat: If you have swelling in your feet and ankles, there is a lot of water present. This absorbs any heat that you may perceive in the inside, yet feels warm to touch. This water also overtakes the rush of warm blood in the tissues as far as temperature is concerned. Obesity can cause occlusion of the lymph and return of blood towards the heart. Neuropathy can also cause this perception.
