Hi, You did not mention the symptoms that you have as you are wearing the socks. One should wear cotton socks so that it absorb the moisture and aerates the area locally. It helps in relief of problems with socks. Changing the socks every alternate day is ideal. Putting dusting powder avoids building of moisturizer. The problems of wearing socks are Seborrheic dermatitis, Ring worm, Jock itch and thrush. You can use NEBASULF powder over the area and wear the shoe by changing the socks daily.
