    April....what you describe does sound like a parasite,,possibly pinworms....I
    would not attempt to treat it yourself with herbs,,,but see a doc,,,have them
    check..then a prescription med can wipe them out....unfortunately you then have
    to go home and launder most everything in hot water,,,as these buggers leave
    eggs in bedding and clothes,,,and will reinfect you....also it can spread
    throughout a family or household contacts,,,

    please don't be afraid to see a health care provider....the solution should be
    way easier than the discomfort you are experiencing..

    good luck

    April -
    Before you think "parasite" ... scented toilet paper, scented
    laundry detergents (or fabric softeners) and scented bath soaps
    are the most common cause.

    Try changing, as suggested, to unscented, non recycled, toilet
    paper and make sure all your undrewear has been washed in
    unscented laundry soap and rinsed well.

    whilst I surely agree with all of the above.....what April is describing...the
    "internal" type of itching,,etc...is more likely to be a parasite...ie..pinworm
    being my first "guess"

    any type of md can do a pinworm test.....the longer one waits to diagnose and
    eradicate this parasite..the more the chance of recurrence...as the eggs will
    be everywhere....

    the toilet paper..soap and detergents..etc are an excellent second
    step....AFTER parasites have been ruled out ....IMHO

    April...do you eat a lot of raw fish?? all kinds of "worms" can be transmitted
    via raw fish....ie sushi..

    Recently my new college student niece suffered her THIRD bout of "worms" in
    about 6 months....she is a sushi acholic....a dose of "poison" each time
    eliminated the wigglies...but now she is laying off raw fish..

    good luck April.....

    Thank you once again for the input , both of you guys , appreciate it .

    I do not eat raw fish usually but I had sometime ago sushi and caviar.

    I try to wear very tight underpanties to see if there are any traces of it , eggs... etc..
    I guess these things might not be visible . Tho I did not notice so far.
    I supply myself large dosage of garlic lately , a day after my first post
    and it seem to be gone at the moment.
    The tickle was very unusual. Not around the entry but inside . I was also guessing it could be
    due to my recent diet . Lots of sweats , peanuts sugar coated etc...
    I mention previously I have some bad time right now , I eat lots of carbohydrate
    which contain I believe the serotonin hormone associated with human happiness , which is a temporary
    fix for me at the moment 🙂
    I figure maybe the peanuts are the reason as well ,I notice quite a chunks of it in the [censored] , maybe
    it scratches me or something .
    Please forgive my arrogance in used terms , I don't know english that well to express it in
    proper medial terms .

    I like to ask one more thing if you will be kind ot assist me.

    I need to get over 'some stuff' so I'm going to make photography trip Papua New Guinea .
    Take away my mind for few weeks . I'm worry about water or food conditions there .
    Are the any preventive products I could take along in case of such problem ?
    Are these things very dangerous ? I mean , if I spend 3 or 4 weeks there and come back
    will that be too late ?
    I got scared while I google , I came across some horrific images that made me really concern :

    Also , we do not have in here running hot water here , all the washing machines in malaysia
    work on cold water . Boiling water from a water cattle to clean up the bad covers and clothes
    could damage my machine so I'm curious are the any chemicals I could use to rid off any possible eggs ?

    thank you very much once again , you guys have a nice weekend .

    regards

    April
