Anal fissure comes & goes.poop not too hard or soft, but i do wipe a lot and use non alcohol wipes.can frequent/ harsh wiping re aggravate fissure?

Yes, but wipe gently: Always drink plenty of water and eat lots of fiber to prevent constipation. Wipe gently and there will be less chance for an anal fissure.
