Possibilities: Itching in that area is a non-specific finding. It is rarely due to pinworms in an adult unless small kids are in the house & even then not common. The source can range from bacterial & yeast or fungal infection to food allergy. Gentile clensing & a mild steroid cream often stops the symptoms.
