Anal itching in children can be caused by pin worms. Place a piece of scotch tape over anus over night to look for evidence. The worms will crawl out and get stuck on the tape as they are more active at night time.

This is usually caused by small worms that develope through playing outside. Simply take a snippet of the childs hair and shred it into a glass of milk, water, juice, etc then have them drink it. Because hair doesn't digest, the hair literally slices the worms and then they are pooped out. The works well with mild constipation of children too.
