Have been itching for quite some time. I think it might be exzema related, but not sure if it might be worms.
I touched myself (sorry if too much information) and on my finger were all these little white "threads" but they weren't moving. I wasn't sure if it was just bits of skin??:confused: Whenever I've had a "probe" before I've never noticed anything like this.
What do you think this was?
I never find anything on the loo paper after I have been to the loo though!

Hi Alison
Itching can be caused by a number of things, not just worms but as you say eczema, also allergies and Candida infection for a start. Without a full history we can't make any likely suggestions here (not an option!).
I'd pop into your GP's surgery and get a specimen pot for stools and take a sample back for their lab to inspect. You are more likely to get the right answer that way. The GP can then offer something to sort it out.
If s/he says there is nothing wrong then there are options that might be helpful from members here.
