Have serveral anal cuts. used a very dirty public toilet and water splashed all over them. can i get an infection?

Little risk, but...: There is little disease risk from exposure to public toilets, even with splashes that may contact the skin or genital or anal area. Having "several anal cuts" would not significantly elevate that low risk. More important, "several anal cuts" is quite abnormal and must be uncomfortable. This should be easy to diagnose and treat. Maybe yeast infection, but many other possibilities. See a doctor.
