No: Any irritation at the anus can cause some itching as a symptom. However, the irritation of pinworms is usually of different character and timing. Avoid any irritation at the anus. Avoid all mechanical and chemical irritation which can occur from too wet stools. Pinworm irritation is worst at night or early morning.
