How do i get checked for pin worms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why ???: What symptoms, how long, what effort to treat, etc all matter. Pin worms are one of many reasons people can have rectal itching. The female worm lays eggs in a sticky glue just outside the anus that triggers an allergic rash/itching. OTC meds are available if true. Clear tape applied at the anal clevis can pick up PW eggs that can be identified by a microscope.Ask your doc if needed.
