I tore naturally with DD#1 & it healed no probs, but with DD#2 I had an Epi& it took alot longer to heal & for the area to become less pianful/sensetive (was it my mind I do not know!?) But I think after about the 6mth mark it started getting much better & since then has been no issue at all, now expecting #3... I hope I dont tear or need to be cut at all!

I agree try to massage it to realx & stretch the area!!!
