Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details given. doctor has already given you Albendazole, which is very effective against certain worm infestation called Enterobious vermicularis (pin worm). These worms tend to crawl up to anus and lay the eggs, causing a great deal of itching. Therfore, most often anul itching has to be treated with deworming drugs. Sice you have taken albendazole now, you may repeat it after 10 days. That will help in eliminating the worms and control anal itching. Plus get all the bed linen washed in hot water. Maintain good hygienic practices. Thanks.
