Hard to answer: This presentation can be from a variety of issues. Vulvar infection, yeast, other skin conditions, trauma to the vulva during sexual activity, shaving etc may also cause these small lacerations. Vaseline may inhibit healing so may not be the best choice. See you doctor as this usually requires history & visualization to diagnose.
