Hank Green asked this about anal fissures and had a bunch of doctors replying. From what I remember your immune system is different in different parts of your body and your body is prepared to handle it down there. Unless your immune system gets compromised then it can get infected.

Oh yeah, this is also the case with our eyeballs, right? They have their own little immune system in there.
