Pain: Better to use a topical anti fungal since mucosal tears that are healing in moist areas can get yeast infections easily.

Dont use neosporin : Neosporin can be irritating especially in sensitive areas. Vaseline or a&d ointment would be better.

Natural Healing: The good news is that area has fantastic blood supply and so healing will occur rapidly. Inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling) is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Dressings and ointments are of no value there. Avoid further trauma to the area and let nature take it's course.
