Brief Answer:
Pin worm

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Pin worms are usually white in colour and there could be a black band on it sometimes. Do not worry about it. You will have to take Tab Albendazole one tablet after dinner and repeat another tablet after two weeks.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
