3. A rash appearing around the anus.
Scratching, pain, and discomfort around the anus as the pinworm moves around and lays its eggs isn’t the only symptom that you might experience as a result of a pinworm infection – and you might also experience a painful or uncomfortable around the anus that accompanies the itching sensation.
The best thing you can do about the rash around the anus if you spot it, is to sanitize the area as soon as possible and to ensure repeated cleanliness as time goes on. You should also consider speaking to your doctor or drug store about the use of an anti-inflammatory cream that can take care of the most severe discomfort associated with a pinworm infection, and ask your doctor for antibiotics to bring the infection under control.
Remember that pinworm eggs are still likely to be present in things like underwear even if the initial infection in the body has been brought under control.
