Hi there,
I would say you are not doing any harm to it but if you want a bit quicker response then I will advise you to apply Bacitracin ointment as well if there is a little up in it.if there isn't any pus and as you said there are some abrasive marks and inflammation then you can add on 1% Hydrocortisone cream once in the night.
I hope you'll feel much better.
Thanks.
All the best.
