Itching anus: Pinworms cause anal itching. Take a piece of scotch tape, place if by the anal area press& lift you should get some worms, Place in a plastic bag &bring to the doctor or look at it under the microscope Treat w/ Albendazole, mebendazole 1 dose then another 2 wks later. Hemorrhoids can cause itching as well, treat with anusol x 2 wks & sitz bath fiber,fluids. f/u w/doc
