Since you have finished your courses of Metrogyl (metronidazole) and Mebex (mebendazole), the itching could be due to temporary skin irritation, a mild yeast imbalance caused by the antibiotics, or surviving pinworm eggs if that was the initial cause (which often requires a second dose of mebendazole after two weeks). I gently recommend keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding harsh soaps, and speaking with your doctor. They can easily identify the cause and suggest a soothing cream or appropriate follow-up to help you feel better soon.
