Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

I would be in a better position to suggest after seeing the picture of rash & also do mention your age. It could be due to allergic response from socks as you said they occur after you wear them. You might be allergic to that socks fabric. Try to change the fabric and then observe.
Do you observe any other symptom besides rash? I mean fever, sore throat, breathing difficulty or visual problem?

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
