Lemon Juice
Lemon juice contains citric acid, which is a natural antimicrobial agent. When applied to the skin, lemon juice can help kill the parasites that cause pinworm infection. In addition, lemon juice can help dry out the blisters and scabs associated with pinworm. This helps to speed up the healing process.
First, wash the affected area with soap and water to use lemon juice to treat pinworm. Then apply fresh lemon juice to the pinworm using a clean cotton ball or swab. Allow the lemon juice to dry on the skin for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it with water. Repeat this process two or three times per day until the symptoms of pinworm have resolved.
While some evidence suggests that lemon juice may help treat pinworm, it’s important to remember that this natural remedy isn’t suitable for everyone. Supplementing traditional medical treatment with home remedies like lemon juice may speed up the healing process but should always be done under the guidance of a medical professional.
