Greg, I think you have the right idea. It is important that you don't lose ground, so keep stretching, but just don't be as strong until the cuts heal.
What have you tried putting on them? A bit of steroid (Betamethasone, Triamcinolone, Mometasone (Elocon) or Hydrocortisone) would probably help, or I generally suggest a simple emollient used on babies' nappy (diaper) rash - Zinc and Castor Oil.
Please do not use "medicated" (even Betadine) or antibiotic creams for this as they can make matters worse.
