Vaginal tear from sex

My boyfriend and I made the mistake of not using lube a few days ago (NEVER AGAIN). I developed some tears below my vulva and now I'm wondering if I should get it checked out? I have never torn before and I can't find many references to know if it's healing normally. (Photos have been taken over the course of 5 days).

For now, we are not having sex, I am using an ice pack periodically, washing the area twice a day with warm water/unscented soap, and applying a tiny bit of Aquaphor. Any tips or advice is much appreciated!!
