Hello and welcome to HCM,
Burning sensation during urination and itching sensation is suggestive of urinary tract infection (UTI).
I suggest you to get an urine examination to look for evidence of infection.
In case infection is present, an urine culture is required followed by antibiotic to select most appropriate antibiotic effective against infectious agent.
A bump felt in the genital area needs to investigated.
It would be more informative if you could give information about the exact location of the lump and any other associated symptoms like pain etc.
However, urine examination should be done promptly to look for UTI and thus institute treatment for it.

Thanks and take care
