Erythromelalgia Synonyms


Erythromelalgia is a rare neurological disorder characterized by episodes of intense burning pain, redness, and heat in the extremities, particularly the hands and feet. It is also known by several other names, including:



  • Burning Feet Syndrome: This term is often used to describe the condition when it primarily affects the feet. The intense burning sensation and redness in the feet are the hallmark symptoms of erythromelalgia.

  • Red Neuralgia: This term refers to the redness and neuralgic pain experienced by individuals with erythromelalgia. Neuralgia refers to severe, shooting, or stabbing pain along the course of a nerve.

  • Man on Fire Syndrome: This colloquial term vividly describes the sensation of intense heat and burning experienced by individuals with erythromelalgia. It emphasizes the debilitating nature of the condition.

  • Red Hand Syndrome: This term is used when erythromelalgia primarily affects the hands. The hands become red, swollen, and extremely painful, making it difficult to perform daily activities.

  • Red Foot Syndrome: Similar to red hand syndrome, this term is used when erythromelalgia predominantly affects the feet. The feet become red, hot, and painful, causing significant discomfort and mobility issues.

  • Man on Fire Disease: This dramatic term is sometimes used to describe erythromelalgia due to the intense burning pain experienced by individuals. It highlights the distressing nature of the condition.


Erythromelalgia, known by these various synonyms, can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. The intense pain, redness, and heat can be debilitating, making it challenging to perform daily tasks. Seeking medical attention and proper management is crucial for individuals experiencing these symptoms.
