Hello,

Anal itching is most likely due to pinworms. He needs medication that you can often get at the pharmacy. These medicines are very safe (which is why they are over the counter) and used millions of times a year in many parts of the world. I've not seen a link to diabetes.

Although I'm an MD, I also pay attention to home remedies and the like, but for this one, you need the medicine that kills the eggs so that the worms stop hatching in his intestines. Pinworms are not serious, are very common, but won't usually self resolve.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Lisa Baker
