Itchy

Is it normal to be itchy after vaginal birth??

I'm 6 days pp and I'm finding I'm getting itchy down there not where my stitches are but just on the outer skin above my clitoral hood. I've also had some burning, I have been wearing pads to catch bleeding so I assume it is from friction but I don't know about the itching. Is there any way to help with this??
