What Could Crawling Sensation In Anus Of A Child Be Indicative Of?

Hi, my brother says that he feels a crawling sensation in the anal area, as it there is something trying to crawl out. Also, he said that from his tailbone to the anal area, his skin is white, or it looks white. He doesn't want to alarm anyone, but want to know what could cause these things?

The symptoms indicate that your child could be having worm infestations. Pinworms and threadworms typically have such a presentation. Please visit a pediatrician and get him evaluated. He might need deworming.
