Having the same rash on the feet as well indicates it's not specifically a latex allergy. More likely the rash was provoked by heat and sweat accumulating wherever skin was in contact with any clothing. The actual cause for the rash is probably something else..
As someone with a latex sensitivity, that is not necessarily the case at all. Socks can have a lot of latex in them. I have definitely come across socks that rash out my feet. Check out whether the socks you have been wearing have latex. I think that you're getting it around the waist band and your ankles is the clue that makes me suspect latex.
