What Causes Itching In Anus And Tip Of Penis In A Child?
Hi, my 10 yr old son was complaining of itching in his anus 2 days ago. I thought it will go away it did. He was hanging out with a couple of other kids last week came back with that problem. Tonight, he complained of pain at the tip of his penis. I m thinking could it be pinworms? He said it doesn t hurt when he urinates.

Hi,
It seems that he might be having worm infestation and due to irritation while worms coming out there might be itching.
G for stool test for ova and cyst.
Afterwards go for anti-worm treatment like
albendazole.
There might be having collection of smegma under fore skin giving rise pain on tip of penis.
Make a habit of cleaning of smegma by averting fore skin while taking bath.
Ok and take care.
