My only concern is if I don't put finger inside and clean it and only keep washing from outside
Will it turn up in to abcess or fistula?

The way you wash will not create an abscess. It’s about not having hard stools.
So please clean well, but gently.
Make sure your stools are soft, by having plenty of water and a high-fibre diet.
Next Steps
Apply Cremagel-H ointment locally after cleaning, to avoid an infection.
