I found this on Healthline concerning your question and wanted to share,
“Compression socks are typically safe to wear if you follow a doctor’s guidance and the manufacturer’s instructions. Overusing compression socks and wearing them incorrectly can break your skin and create conditions where an infection can start.”
If you’re not standing on your feet all day causing your feet or legs to hurt you may be over using the stockings. As it was pointed out they have there place as therapy but in the correct situation.

That's the reason I put skin moisturizer on my feet and legs every night after taking off the compression socks. The compression socks definitely help with my lymphedema and keep the leg swelling down during the day.
