Leslie S- worms, especially in your f***s, is usally a pin worm. they are very small and white/clear in color. they often cause your a**s to itch, especially at night as that's when they are active. You can go to the doctor and get a perscription medication of Vermox to treat it...it's usually just one tablet and then they may have you take one more tablet a week later. There is also an over the counter medication in the first aid asile that I believe is called pinnex....you can try that if you don't want to go to the doctor.
