hemorrhoids can be seen and even felt when you bath him and they are not very common or likely in his age group. his rectal itching can be due to many things from dubious hygiene after his uses the toilet anal fissures (tiny tears from being constipated) chemical reaction to detergents/dryer softeners or even pinworms. if a cause is not apparent you may need to consult his pediatrician so that he can be properly examined diagnosed and treated. hi if its worms? the way to find out is get to his bed before he gets up but before you wrap some sticky tape round a couple of fingers sticky side out and place this against his anus it picks up any worms they tend to come out during the night do this for a couple of weeks or until they clear it should stop the itching that's if its worms. do hope it helps you and him. good luck
