Child Has Itching In The Butt Hole
My daughter is complaining of get butt hole itching. She used the word "ticking". I had her wipe it several times.,I wiped it with a wet cloth and she said it was fine. 5 sec later it was "tickling" again. Yesterday there was a mucosy type thing she thought it was a worm but it wasn't moving. I'm confused.

Its likely that she is having pinworm infestation which causing pruritis. If there is no rash or erruption in skin surrounding the anus its likely that it is worm infestation.
Single dose of antihelminthic will be beneficial.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
