Depends if the smell is the cast or the arm.
You are on the right track if it is the cast. It is a plastic smell caused by some organic chemicals. You need something that dissolves chemicals but not the cast. Gasoline is a very very bad choice. Olive or other oil is better.
But if it is sweat and the arm, an antiperspirant. This might coincedentally work if it is the cast.
