>What you need to do is keep things slow and easy. Also rub in some tea tree oil or cream regularly: this will keep the skin flexible and heal any tears. One patient I saw once used lipsyl to good effect, but I dpon't know enough to recommend this.
Melaleuca oil (tea tree oil) would most likely burn if applied full strength to wounds like that. My own experience is that it is quite irritating on tender mucosa even when there is no cut. He needs to use a substance which is soothing.
