I've been using lysol disinfecting wipes to wipe off my anus for last 2 to 3 days. now it feels like it's burning. will i be alright?

Yes...: ..as soon as you stop using chemical wipes on your anus. Please, nothing stringent on this sensitive area. Apply some vitamin A & D ointment, do not over-cleanse the area. There are some commercial gentle anal cleansing wipes, but I suggest you just gently wipe after bowel function with tissue. Over-cleansing causes irritation with burning and itch. Eat right, and stay hydrated. Good luck.
