Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you have the scabies itch on your genital areas then you must apply the anti scabies medication there as well. The burning could be temporary.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
