Pinworms look small, thin and grayish-white, like little pieces of thread. This is why they're sometimes called threadworms. You may also find them wriggling in underwear or bedsheets.
These threads appear as thin filamentous fibers that can be red, blue, white, or black. If present in clusters, they can be seen with the naked eye.
A crust can be caused by skin injury. It represents a mixture of proteins and other tissue components that work like a tap covering a wound. Crusts are also formed when certain bacteria, such as Streptococci, attack skin.
