Hello
Since those splotches appear after wearing socks and disappear by taking them off and you didn't find those splotches in another part of your body, that means you have an allergic reaction to the type of the product that socks is made of.
You should avoid the contact with that product and notice if you have any allergic reaction to other substances to avoid them.
If the symptoms reappear and became more severe you may need an anti-histamine medication.
