What do I do about socks and sweat?

Hi there, first post on this website! I was about to say this might be TMI, but I'm literally on the Psoriasis forum so I think I'm fine XD
Anyway, I'll stop rambling: what do I do about socks and sweat? My psoriasis is on my feet, and especially this time of year I have to wear socks and covering shoes. My socks get stuck, I have to peel them off every day, and the sweat makes my foot super itchy. Is there anything I can do about this or am I stuck?

Hi have you tried cuticura talc at all, it's a mildly medicated talc you can buy from the supermarket, chemist, Amazon, that may help, I use it and find it doesn't aggravate my psoriasis, it doesn't improve it but it does stop my skin feeling as sweaty
I would also look into the material of the socks. Bamboo would be a great choice but obviously something you should test yourself. Certain Polyester blends (e.g Cool max) and Merino Wool may also be suitable.
