Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for writing to us.

I can suggest you to use 1% hydrocortisone cream or good moisturizer on the affected area. Keep using Ice pack or Vaseline if available. These are helpful in this case.

Next time, you should trim the genital hair or shave in proper method to avoid irritation or burning sensation.

Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care.
