Have anal fissure. dr said to not wash with soap. also said don't use wet wipes after pooping. will feces going over fissure cause infection? nervous!

Unlikely: Just keep the area as clean as possible, the body has immune factors that will make it unlikely to get an infection in that area.

What happens if soap gets inside anus on accident? I lathered my butt and anus entrance and got a wash cloth to scrub and I feel like it went inside. How do I prevent that and what will happen to me ? Can I get an infection & will the soap get out ??
