Depends: There are over the counter preparations that can remove this or you can have your doc send out some prescription meds. Hygiene using local emollients to deal with any anal irritation can increase comfort in the short term.

Pinworms: Usually take a med like mebendazole (Vermox),albendazole (Albenza) or pyrantel pamoate (Reese’s Pinworm Medicine) & repeat in 2 weeks. Everyone in household should be treated. Pinworm eggs can survive on contaminated surfaces up to 3 weeks. To get pinworms out of your home: https://www.healthline.com/health/pinworms#treatment
