# Re: torn frenulum - looking for best solution Written by Lucas at 02 Mar 2006 20:30:01: As an answer to: Re: torn frenulum - looking for best solution written by Robin at 02 Mar 2006 20:26:25: Hi Robin: Thanks a lot for your thorough reply. Yes, calendula salve is supposed to be one of the better herbel remedies to facilitate the healing of cuts and burns, and it certainly seemed to work pretty well for me. You're right, the frenulum itself isn't actually thicker, it's just that the scar tissue in the spot where it tore has added sort of a little lumpy spot right below the base of the glans which seems to sort of push the lower foreskin forward a bit when I close it. I'm reckoning that after frenuloplasty (which I've made an appointment for - Feb. 1st), with the frenulum sewn into the shaft, the foreskin length will appear a little closer to how it used to be. I didn't actually pack the frenulum in a bandage after I tore it. It wasn't a big rip, and stopped bleeding on it's own after a while. As far as I recall I just kept wiping the blood off with toilet paper until it stopped. Then I applied the thick and sticky calendula salve and closed the foreskin, and that's how it healed. Now the spot where it ripped just reveals something like a paper cut on close examination. I'll let you know how the op turns out...
