Hello,
The burning an itching can be related to many type of infections such as a bacterial or yeast infection. A swab test and a urine test is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile, I suggest to use an antibiotics which can lower the itching. Soaking in cool water can also relieve the itching.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
