Rug Burnns On Face Due To Fall, Separtated Scab From Skin, Extreme Dry Skin. Help From Applying Neosporin. Continue?

I FAINTED AT WORK A WEEK AGO AND FELL ON MY FACE. I HAVE A COUPLE RUG BURNS, ONE ON MY CHEEKBONE AND ANOTHER ACROSS MY EYEBROW. I PUT ALOE VERA THE NEXT DAY AND HAVE NOW JUST LEFT IT ALONE. SEEMS LIKE THE ALOE VERA HELP IT DRY PRETTY FAST...LAST NIGHT, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I BEGAN PUTTING NEOSPORIN OINTMENT ON IT. THE SCAB IS NOW BEGIN TO SEPERATE FROM MY SKIN, AROUND THE EDGES. SHOULD I CONTINUE PUTTING THE NEOSPORIN UNTIL SCAB FALLS OFF OR LEAVE IT ALONE? THE NEOSPORIN HAS KEPT IT MOISTURIZED...BEFORE THE NEOSPORIN THE SCAB ON MY CHEEKBONE WAS SO DRY, IT WAS PULLING THE BOTTOM OF MY EYE LID TO THE POINT THAT IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD A REALLY LAZY EYE...LOOKED SCARY.
