Hello,
In the current scenario, it appears that you probably have an infection that is causing the itch. I would recommend a proper evaluation by a specialist for further management. To get relief from the burning sensation, you may apply ice pack and your doctor may prescribe some zinc oxide cream to heal the lesion. Please maintain proper genital hygiene. Do not douche or use strong soap solution to clean the genital region.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
