Can Anal Worms Cause White Patches On Face And Anal Itch?
Hi I am a male aged 43 and with normal health except for tickling at times at the edge of anus. Also, of late i have got light pale patches at the edges of my moustache that looks very odd. Some say it is due to worms. Plz suggest any medicine.Regards Anand

Hello Anand,
Yes it maybe due to worms. You can take tab ALBENDAZOLE 400 m.g in this way-
1 Tablet on Day 1 morning
1 tablet on Day 2 morning
1 tablet on Day 3 morning
1 tablet on Day 7 morning.
Also take a multivitamin tablet everyday for 7 days.
This would kill the worms in your body and expel them. Do not scratch your anal area as you would be reinfected if the worms remain in your nails. Wash your hands with soap prior to any meal.
Hope this helps ,
