That's the question. Wearing socks hurts and I'm allergic to bandaids and other adhesives everywhere but my fingers. Sports tape is also out. Any ideas?

Cotton tights, perhaps?

ALL socks? For example: There are neoprene socks, and socks made for hiking. The hiking socks come in two styles: Very thick, and very thin. The thin ones are used as a first layer inside a thick sock, the idea being that any slippage that could cause friction burns happens between the two layers of socks, rather than against your skin. As such, these thin socks are make slippery on the outside, and may be just the thing to wear inside the monofin. Or maybe as a first layer, with a neoprene sock over it.
