Neuropathy?: Your dad may have a condition caused neuropathy, which described as a burning pain, often in the feet and hands. Diabetes is often a cause of this. A doctor should be able to help him figure out what is causing his pain and get him better!

Why doesn't: Your 55 year old dad go to the podiatrist? It may be something simple like athletes foot. If it is a foot doc will tell you right away and if not they would be able to diagnose him.
