Gross: Medical question 💩

Hi! Nurse here. It sounds like the flap of skin you’re describing is what’s sometimes called residual from a hemorrhoid. It’s kind of like a skin tag that forms once the hemorrhoid heals! It’s usually painless but it can trap stool particles and make it difficult to clean, which may be why you keep seeing some stool residue after wiping. Using water and wet wipes is the best solution but if it’s persistently bothersome, it can be removed.

I’m not familiar with the actual flap of skin but in your case I’m thinking maybe a bidet would help? It’ll spray a ton of water before you actually wipe. And then in between poops when you go pee it’ll spray more water as well. Instead of wasting so much tissue/wipes to get it clean, perhaps install a cheap spraying only bidet?? Or use a peri bottle for now until you can get it installed. The appointment can help diagnosis what it is you have, the bidet/spray can help temporarily so you’re not using up so much tissue/wipes that can potentially clog up the toilet (coz “flushable” wipes flush yes but they don’t degrade in water I’m thinking more of blockage-wise)
