Brief Answer:
Possibility of fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Itching and burning sensation around clitoris is most commonly due to fungal ( candida ) infection. Usually the area remains moist and hence the fungus grows easily, also of course the hygiene plays an important part.

If I have to suggest a medication I would have advised you OINT MICONAZOLE 2% FOR LOCAL APPLICATION THRICE A DAY FOR 3 DAYS. This is available over the counter in most countries.
Also try to keep the local area dry.
You can take tab cetrizine 5mg twice a day to get relief from itching. This is also available over the counter.
