Hello, I am Dr. Aditya Gudhate and try my best to answer your question. An itchy anus is generally thought to be a classical sign of Pinworm infestation. As for the bumps they are most likely swellings caused by the itching. I recommend you Chew one tablet of Albendazole (400mg) before going to sleep tonight and another tablet 2 weeks later. I hope you are satisfied with my answer. Get well soon!
