I have an itchy bum?!
Question:
I have an itchy bum?
It only happens at night, can anybody help
Answers:
This may be pinworms. As their name implies, they have sharp "points" that prick your skin and make you itch; the reason for this is they emerge from your rectum (usually at night), lay eggs, and die. They are about the size of a staple. You scratch, get eggs under your fingernails, put your fingers in your mouth, and the cycle begins again. Pinworms are easily treated with prescription medication. I know, it's gross and embarrassing. But doctors see this a lot; they're very common.
