Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Thanks for posting your query.
I may need a few more details before I answer your question.
1. Have you had unprotected sexual contact previous to this incidence?
2. Do you have the same partner or multiple partners?
3. Have you any idea about the sexual activities of your sex partner?
4. Have you ever taken previously any oral contraceptives?
5 What is the age of your sexual partner? Is there any chance of Diabetes Mellitus for him?
These details will be of more useful to throw lights for your present problem.
Oral contraceptives are known to precipitate a yeast vulvovaginitis. This could cause itching and sores due to scratching that could cause burning sensation of your genitals.

Brief Answer:
Yeast infection or a HSV infection are the possibilities
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Thank you for the information.
Sores over genitals those can cause burning sensation can be due to variety of causes.
Examination of the sore and investigations on the vaginal secretions in the laboratory can reveal the exact diagnosis.
In your case yeast infection is the likely possibility. If we assume that your partner had multiple partners, HSV 2 infection is an other possibility.
Consult a specialist doctor (gynecologist or a dermato-venereologist), get examined and get well soon.
