Is Infection Possible Through Skin Contact With Garbage?

Various suggestions for your incidence.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.
I can understand your concern for the possibility of any infection after the incidence.
On the first instance there appears to be no possibility of getting any infection by such kind of episode.
It is due to the fact that our skin has a barrier function and is a multilayered structure which prevents any entry of microbes into it. Secondly of at all any microbe enters then the white blood cells form the first line of defence and destroys the microbes.
In case of there is any abrasion or cuts over the affected area then the barrier function is lost and the microbe has the direct access. But even then the white blood cells prevents the infection.
In the urethral area also the microbes cannot enter directly as the mucosa is quite strong to prevent the same.
I suggest you to kindly wash the area with simple soap and water as soon as possible and not to be worried. Drink plenty of water and liquids.
I hope this helps.
With regards,
