As it appears to be a case of allergic dermatitis therefore please see your skin specialist once.He might prescribe steroidal skin ointments which can relieve these symptoms.
Simultaneously minimize the usage of your dentures.Wear them only when it is of utmost requirement.Please do this for around 8 to 10 days and look for the results.Whenever you remove your dentures store them in water .Also clean them to inhibit any fungal infection.
This will help you to understand the problem better.further upon consulting the skin specialist and also following the above said measures it should subside.
Later on, you can meet your dentist and get the dentures re-fabricated with different material,which is bio compatible with your tissues and supporting teeth and bone.
Hope it helps.
