Suggest Treatment For Torn Frenulum

I tore my frenulum a on Sunday and was advised not to wash it for two days to let the blood clot. As I just went to clean it I can-t pull it all the way back without causing more bleeding. Should I just wash the tip or do I need to make sure I do the whole thing to prevent infection etc?
