DS has been complaining that his bottom is itching and he has been scratching it, not so much today though I have noticed. Looked at his poo and can't see anything and when he was asleep last night me and DH looked at his bottom as a website said they may come out in warm slightly damp conditions like when you are in bed.
Is it bloody worms? I have never ever dealt with them before. Do we need to take him to the doctors? I don't really want to treat him unless we know for sure. He said last week that he saw some blood and he said he is finding it difficult to go to the toilet but when I asked him again about the blood he said he hasn't been bleeding.
He has had eczema since 6 weeks old but never on his bum, he is 5.
He also has some large spots on his bum that are not related to the itching. Any ideas?

Can an itchy bottom mean anything other than worms?
