Brief Answer:
You may use any of the two if the wound is not a major one

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
Cipladine is a milder antibiotic for application over small wounds like abrasions and cuts.
Neosporin is more potent with better spectrum used for the same.
You may use any of the two if you are sure that the wound is not a major one and does not require suturing.
You may keep the wound open for best results.
Feel free to ask if you have any queries.
ALL THE BEST.
