Hi and thanks for the query,
Local infections as such are not difficult to diagnose. A careful clinical observation and laboratory examination could be useful. Direct examination of the samples of the affected areas could easily facilitate diagnosis. the opinion of your doctor is needed. Pyrantel is an appropriate treatment for pin worms. A careful in depth evaluation by the doctor is needed to exclude all predisposing conditions,
