I got a second degree steam burn a week ago. it was healing well, but now an itchy rash has developed in the middle. is it an infection?

More likely reaction: It sounds as if you may be experiencing either a reaction to topical medications which is quite common with Bacitracin containing topcial antibiotics such as neosporin. Alternatively this could be an early hypertrophic scar.

Probably not: It may be just a reaction to the antimicrobial cream you are using. See a specialist asap to make sure. Good luck from nyc.
