Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to the brace. I suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application. I also suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily to relieve the itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
