Has anybody had pinworms?

[vermontgirl]

This seems like total TMI but I am having some pretty serious vaginal and anal itching. It is not a yeast infection and nothing is making it go away.

It just occured to me that I could have pinworms.

Does anyone know anything about how to clear it up? Is there something over the counter that I can treat myself with that would work?

Homeopathic Cina would help!  Go easy on the doses...maybe take 2 doses of 30C 12 hrs apart and wait for a response. Stay away from coffee, mint, camphor & eucalyptus until worms are passed and symptoms are gone.

Not to be gross but if you put a piece of sticky tape on your behind hole overnight, the worms come out at night and stick to the tape. You will find out then. They will also come out if you "pry" apart your cheeks and look with a mirror. Again, trying not to be gross but I speak from experience.
