Hello,
It is a local inflammation to the cast. If the symptoms are severe, it is better to remove the cast and switch to a less irritating synthetic cast.
You can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
