Specializes in Podiatry

Neuritis: Burning stinging pain is usually neuritis. It can be caused by shoe rubbing, plantar fasciitis or achilles tendinitis. The outside of the right heel is often from a loafer type shoe. If you can figure out the cause, then eliminating the irritation should make it go away.
