Absolutely. It does depend on why it was torn, but if it was a simple accident, it should be easily repaired by a urologist or surgeon.

Sometimes the foreskin tears because of a thrush or yeast infection. Treatment with an anti-fungal cream from a pharmacy kills the infection and allows it to heal up. Avoid soap as this can cause thrush infections.
Another cause can be a ripped frenulum. These take a month or two to heal and can be prone to more problems, depending on how much attachment is left or if you rush it. If there is no attachment left three is nothing to rip again and it should heal up fine. Sometimes a doctor will put a stitch in to help a torn frenulum heal. If that doesn't work a frenuloplasty, to lengthen the frenulum may be necessary.
Circumcision is a last resort and should be avoided if at all possible.

Yes, but if there is phimosis coz of which it was torn, then it will be better to perform circumcision. As repair might aggravate the condition.
