What to do about skin ripping pumps?

So yesterday was a leg day and I decided to take it a little further than usual, completely exhausting my legs. But in doing this my legs were so swollen that when I sat down on a bench the skin on my quad visibly pulled apart from normal skin to like a thin scar/stretch mark(.5in longx .1 in wide) and started stinging like an absolute motherfucker. Is there anything I can do to prevent that from happening again without turning my workout down a bit? Or should I just take that as a scar of victory
