How do pin worms differ from hemrrhoids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many ways: Pin worms are a parasite, they usually cause a skin reaction and itching around the anus. Other than being in the same place hemorrhoids are totally different. Hemorrhoids are an enlaregment or irritation of the normal tissue at the anus. See your physician if you have perianal discomfort.
