I would expirement with different types of condoms so that you can see how different materials make a difference. Oh yeah, and definately see a doctor.
Edit: I've used the Vagisil wipes before, they work pretty well to keep the itching and burning under control. You might want to try them.

If they use condoms, his semen is not in her vagina.
It could be latex. It could be N9. It could be friction.
Personally, I'd recommend lube, and a non-spermicide condoms. Recent advice from the WHO makes it clear that N9 is bad news. Almost all condoms in the UK have had N9 taken off them. It makes very little difference to the amount of pregnancies, and it irritates the vaginal lining thus making transmission of virusses more likely.
If it's latex, use a non-latex condom; there are several, not just Trojan - ask your pharmacist or google.
Use lube - contrary to old fashioned views, lube does not make you a slut. It's great stuff. Slippy sex is way more fun than scratchy sex.
Failing that, you could always try anal...
