You have to see a doctor for a prescription medicine. No other way, sorry.

Pinworms can be successfully treated with:
Medication. Both nonprescription and prescription medications are available in liquid, chewable tablet, and pill forms. Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding and children younger than 2 should not take nonprescription medication without first talking to a doctor about the risks and benefits of medication.
Steps to prevent reinfection and the spread of infection, including frequent hand-washing and routine washing of clothes and bedding. These measures are important and helpful even if medication is not being used. For more information, see the Home Treatment section.
Pinworms are treated with medication when:
Signs and symptoms of pinworm infection are present, such as itching around the anus.
Pinworm infection of family members and other close contacts is likely.
If severe itching is present, your doctor may prescribe a soothing cream to be applied to the anal area. If complications of pinworm infection develop, additional treatments may be needed.

You must go to the doctor. There is no other cure except a prescription.
