Assuming your skin was intact, there would be little risk of any infection since intact skin would act as a barrier to any bacteria that would be in your urine. If there was any skin opening, watch the area for redness, swelling, increased warmth, etc. since these would be signs of a skin infection. Call your doctor if any of these signs/symptoms occur. Good luck!

No. Normal urine does not harm the skin surface.
