Seems like hives

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
I see the pictures you attached and it seems like hives or allergic rash.
I think you may need to change the type of socks or other things you may think you are allergic of.
Use hydrocortisone cream on them and take antihistamines such cetirizine.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
