Dr. Wang Guohua
Hello,
Swelling and pain on the dorsum of the foot are commonly caused by prolonged standing or physical labor, which impairs blood circulation in the feet. We recommend symptom relief through warm foot soaks and localized massage. Additionally, conditions such as hypertension—resulting from long-term poor dietary habits or familial genetic factors—can also manifest with similar symptoms.
We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
