Repeated wiping can trigger irritant dermatitis, chafing, fissures, and flare conditions like eczema, hemorrhoids, and post-procedure sensitivity, so a gentle rinse can be more comfortable for many people. I usually suggest lukewarm water, low pressure, short rinse time, no added soap unless it is a mild, fragrance-free cleanser, and then pat dry fully.
