In due time....: Of course, if it is severely ripped, a physician may have to be consulted to do a repair. If minor, treat it like a typical skin laceration. Keep it clean, apply a topical antibiotic and prevent further injury. To remove all doubt or if the severity changes, consult with your physician. Thank you for using Healthtap.
