What Does Severe Itching In Genital And Anus Area Indicate?
Hi I've had itching in my genital area and anus usually at night and after using the bathroom I thought it was a yeast infection and took monistat hoping that would clear it up it helped subside the itching for the week I was on it, but it's back again. Sometimes it gets so bad it feels like needles poking at my skin.

Hello, Welcome to HCM Your Symptoms are most probably suggestive of pinworm infection. A pinworm infection is a type of human intestinal worm infection. Pinworms are tiny and narrow worms. Pinworm infections affect people of all ages. Since the pinworm eggs are microscopic, it’s impossible to avoid infected individuals or areas. Best treatment for this mebendazole. Keep the infected areas dry and clean. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you
