Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question but can you clarify what you mean by a skin tear? I am confused as to what you mean by a tear.
Thanks,
Missie

Dear Anonymous,
In order for your skin to heal, stop wiping with dry toilet paper-- no wipes either. Gently cleanse the area with mild soap and water and pat it dry. Keep it moisturized and apply skin barriers such as Vaseline to prevent the friction of your clothes and underwear from doing further damage.
I hope this helps and that you heal quickly!
