Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having fungal infection in between toes.
Due to stockings there will be more perspiration and so part remains wet leading to grow fungus.
Apply anti-fungal cream locally.
You can also apply neosporin as there is likely of having secondary bacterial infection as well.
Keep part dry and airy.
After removing stockings clean the part and keep it dry.
Ok and take care.
