Parasite is less likely. Fly larva is more common if you have an open wound and the wound is not clean well. Pinworm is the common parasite coming out of the anus during nighttime to lay eggs, causing irritation and itching.

This sounds like maggots or fly larvae that can sometimes invade open wounds. Wound care specialists sometimes use maggot therapy to clean up devitalized tissue from wounds.
