Both answers are right. Sometimes when kids don't get clean after a BM it will get itchy but if you clean it with soap and water and put a little vasaline on it, it will quit itching, if not it could be pin worms. Kids can get these from pets or by going barefoot where there is feces. They usually itch more at night as the little worms try crawling out. You can see them especially if you hold a flashlight down there. You would need to see a dr. and probably clean all linens and toys and clothes. My mom said we got these as children running around the farm being kids.

It sounds like your daughter may have worms.You must take her to the clinic and ask for syrup to de-worm her .There is a variety of de-worming syrup and you can ask at the clinic which is more suitable for your daughter.Unfortunately , I do not know of any home remedies for this problem .

There probably isn't anything living in her poop. She isn't wiping her bum enough after going the washroom.  Go to your local Walmart or drugstore and pick up some feminine wipes or for children a product called Kadoo. Both are flushable. This moistens the area enabling a better wipe. Also, before bed apply some diaper cream or baby powder in case she is sweating. Don't let her wear underwear to bed let her bottom breathe.
