Anal itching: Your anal itching is caused by pinworms. Therefore you should purchase anti-pinworm medication

Depends: Anal itching can represent pin worms, but it can also represent any inflammation in the area. An unusual but important cause is group A streptococcal infection, which usually shows up with irritation, small bumps and moist skin. It can also represent a response to irritation from diarrhea, food allergies, lactose intolerance and a healing anal fissure.
