Is Polysporin Sufficient In Treating The Hole In The Leg?

Hi, I just what they believe was a dermotofibroma removed from my leg. The hole was deep and they had to cauterize it to stop bleeding. The hole is quite deep. I was told not to use neosporin, but tht vasoline or bacitracian was good. I only have polysporin...is that ok?
