In this situation, a recurrently tearing frenulum can indeed be a troublesome issue. Start with ensuring that the area remains clean and dry. Avoid anything that might irritate it, such as harsh soaps or fragranced products. For now, it’s important to avoid excessive tension on the frenulum by gentle manipulation of the foreskin to prevent reopening the wound. An over-the-counter antibiotic ointment applied twice daily can help prevent infection and aid in healing. Hydrating the skin might offer some benefit—consider an unscented moisturizer to maintain skin elasticity. If you notice any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or pus, it would be important to seek medical evaluation promptly. You mentioned that the problem persists and the frenulum is bearing excessive pressure when the foreskin is retracted. This could suggest a condition like frenulum breve, where the frenulum is too short. In some cases, persistent tearing or symptoms might be resolved with a minor procedure called a frenulotomy, which can help by releasing the tension. I would recommend consulting with a urologist to discuss your options and whether a minor surgical intervention might be beneficial. The assessment can also rule out any other underlying issues. Avoid sexual activity until you’ve healed and a healthcare provider has given you the all-clear, as this could exacerbate the problem. Regular follow-up to monitor progress and modifications in your care plan if needed will be crucial to healing and preventing future recurrence.
What to do for a painful frenulum cut that keeps reopening after one month?
I have a problem in my penis. Due to the stretching of the frenulum, a small cut was made which even bled. The cut got healed but it is not like before. Now when the foreskin is pulled, all the pressure comes on the frenulum. If I pull the foreskin more than that, then the same problem can occur and sometimes it starts paining and does not get cured completely. It took about 1 month when this problem occurred and after 8-10 days the cut opened again.
