How To Heal Torn Frenulum With Two Small Bumps?
I had torn my frenulum (frenulum breve) a few days ago. I have two small bumps that are at opposing sides of the tear that are really sensitive and stick out about .5-1cm. Will these bumps heal and retract on their own or will they continue to be sensitive and look hideous? I understand my options with frenuloplasty/circumcision, I just want to know if these bumps will heal on their own, and what the odds are that my banjo string or frenulum will heal and not tear again. Added info: The tear wasn t a major one, the bleeding had subsided in a few hours.

Dear patient thank you for the question.
Here is my input regarding the 2 small bumps.
1) Hematoma: a collection of blood on either side can result in bumpiness which is quite tender. Just like a bruise it resolves on its own and can be hastened my taking anti inflammatories like ibuprofen.
2) Skin tags: The rupture can lead to skin tags which aretaken care of my the surgeon who merely excises them as they are useless pieces of skin
Either way you have nothing to worry about and all the best for your surgery
