You usually can. (... and should - that's why labs often have emergency showers.) flush your skin with water if it itches or burns during a lab.
There are, however, a few chemicals that will react with water and make matters worse. In those cases the itching and burning will be from the chemical reacting with the moisture in your skin. Before working with any chemicals in the lab you should make sure you know what the hazards are so that you can take proper precautions to avoid exposure to the chemicals that can cause the irritation - such as wearing protective gloves, long sleeve shirts, and possibly a face shield. If a chemical is reactive with water, the MSDS should explain proper alternative procedures in the event that some gets on the skin and causes irritation.
