Depends: Anal itching can be triggered by food allergies, bacterial or fungal infections in addition to "worms". Anal application of an anti-fungal or hydrocortizone cream may help some. Since a group A strep infection can trigger this in some cases an office evaluation & specific treatment may be needed.
