Okay, I think that 10 year old dd didn't wipe well enough. I send her into the bathroom with a cottonelle and a swipe of vaseline. Then it hits me!!! Night time, itches, pinworms?????

I examined her bum and no worms. So far, so good.
With four kids, we've been through this before; it's like lice. A big pain in the bum. LOL!

Heaven help me if it is!

My sister recently went through pinworms with her 2 boys. It WAS a nightmare! I hope that's not it!!!!

One of my kids has had it several times, and they've all had it at some point. It's not nearly as bad as lice. One drink of meds, shower the kids, disinfect the washroom, wash all of the sheets and undies, and you're good to go!

My oldest dd had these. It was horrific in thought, but really not so bad for treatment. It just got so bad that she would wake up screaming. I did see the worms. It was one pill to take, no big deal. Good luck!

If I had to choose I would pick worms over lice any day. I mean, if this were a contest and all.

UGH! BTDT, but then, with kids, you *usually* do! Another thought, was it *exactly* her bum, or possibly her girlie parts? Jules used to get yeast infections as young as age 6 or 7. She has always been prone to them. Just a thought......
