What Causes Movement Feeling Around Anus Other Than Pinworms ?

Could there be any other cause of the same kind of tingling, itching, "movement" feeling around the anus OTHER than Pinworms? I have checked and checked with a flashlight and see no signs of any worms, but the feeling is undeniable...not constant, but intense when there :L

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Psychogenic pruritis can cause such a symptom and it generally exacerbates during periods of stress. Doxepine is a drug of choice for these conditions and can be started in a low dose. Sedation can be a problem with this drug but you may try taking it.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
