Noticed Painful Lump On Lower Back Along With Scab. Pain Decreased After Using Neosporin. Is It Safe?

Thanks for posting your query.
From your description it seems that you had a hematoma on your back due to the fall. Since you have drained the collected blood, now you need to do a daily aseptic dressing with neosporin to avoid any infection in the area.
You also need to take a course of broad spectrum antibiotic to prevent any infection. In case there is any pain, then taking a mild analgesic like ibuprofen and doing a hot fomentation in the area will be helpful. It is likely to subside in next 7-10 days.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
