Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
A yeast infection can cause inflammation and irritation of the vaginal area, itching can also sometimes occur. The inflammation/irritation and itching, if this is present, can lead to a burning sensation.
Bicarbonate soaks can sometimes be used for yeast infections, approximately a cup of baking soda is placed in bath water and you can soak for 15 to 20 mins. Some persons also recommend apple cider vinegar
It would be best however, to consider the use of either a topical or oral mediation for the yeast infection.
Orally , fluconazole can be used. There are a number of different topical options, some of them are over the counter medications.
You may want to consider a swab of the vaginal area so that you can definitely find out the cause.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
