Anal itching for 2 months, dr thought pinworms. prescribed albenza 8 days ago, anus still itches like crazy. should itch have stopped? is it working?

Intertrigo/fungal: Likely due to fungal or intertrigo. Pinworms less likely. I would recommend washing 2-3x a day, drying in front of fan, applying very small amount of baking soda. You can try athletes foot spray too. Do this for 2-4 weeks.
