A doctor has provided 1 answer

Threadworm/pinworm: These threadlike human only parasites live in your colon. The pregnant worm exits the anus & lays eggs there in a glue like substance that causes a rash/itching. You can help the itching with a cold water wash & hydrocortizone cream. Any worm treatment can kill the worms but the itch remains until the skin rash is gone. It can also be from yeast, group A strep or other causes. Doc may need to see.
