>Hi there. After stretching for a few weeks now I have just had a few splits in the skin appear on the phimotic ring. Should I now leave the stretching for a few days or continue the stretching process? I've heard that this isn't a good sign, does this mean that stretching will not work for me? I hope this isn't true.

A little common sense should tell that if it splits you should cease doing what you’re doing, at least until it heals. As for why and how you managed to break the skin, you can have just pulled too hard on it, or you have an infection on the skin that makes it subsceptible to this (fungal infection for example).
