Abrasions on finger knuckles
I recently fell from stairs due toh which my skin on finger knuckles scraped and I had abrasions . I covered the wound with bandage in initial 24 to 48 hours . Now I am applying neosporin on those wounds and not covering them with bandaid anymore . Will it leave scars ? How should I ensure that there should be minimal scarring .

The wound looks superficial. Ideally it should not scar much. The lesion looks inflamed and infected at this point.
