To do this, pinworms crawl out of the anus and lay eggs in moist skin folds. Parasites living in the intestine multiply with a frequency of every two weeks. That's the reason why it itches in the anus. Analyzes will show their presence, and drug treatment will be prescribed. Usually, anthelmintic tablets are taken once, and the reception is repeated after 2 weeks. To be treated by the whole family. Eggs of pinworms are very small and can get under the fingernails and remain there even after washing their hands.
