This burning and redness will relieve with a steroidal reparation.
Kindly check at your local pharmacy if there is a cream or ointment available that contains betametasone or fluocinolone, etc.
If its not available overthecounter, then you will need a prescription for it.

Brief Answer:
Yeast due to humidity
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
This is most probably caused by yeast overgrowth due to humidity.
Though a topical antifungal preparation will be helpful but burning will be relieved by corticosteroid (steroid) that will bring down the inflammation.
Steroid is to be used for short term (7-10 days).
