Can worms course anal itching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: 31 y/o male asks Can worms cause anal itching? Yes, is the simple answer. Just about any worm that inhabits the Digestive System can cause itching but Pinworm is most often the commonest culprit. They lay their eggs in the anal skin folds while one sleeps and that can cause intense itching. Easy to treat with OTC medications and best to treat the entire household if possible.
