    I am gonna suggest something I have no tried, but have you ever use Crocs? They have more than sandals, and all its product are poliester or plastic which you seems to tolerate better.

    Hi Olanrewaju, I wonder what kind of socks have you been using? Try changing to 100% cotton socks. I'm diabetic and I am so cautious with whatever itch as I am so worried to incur wounds from scratches. 

    You can try check with cottonique website. these are the only socks I can use with no worries. 

    I hope you feel better and if you do by changing your socks, you could have developed latex allergy already. What you feel right now could be initial symptoms. Please share again if this feels better after. 

    Please take care
