I don't see why... but if it makes you feel more comfortable it shouldn't be an issue.
I just know the aquaphor IS used for minor scrapes and burns. And I wouldn't be worried about using it. It isn't super watery so just a little on the tip of the finger or q-tip gently rubbed in should be fine.
To me.. I'm not sure why people stress coconut or olive oil. Seems to me like oil is oil with different price point. But externally... Meh, I DON'T know.
Honestly... you could even use honey. Honey is a humectant and has antibacterial properties.... but I would worry about attracting ant or other pests then.
The good news is you did get at least 2 people who said it doesn't APPEAR to be infected or heavily concerning.
