Hi,
You were having wound formation due to injury and so stitches have been taken. You can apply Neosporin ointment over that of wound is healed. There is no need for using other cream.
The minor scar will certainly occur as wound formation was there. But with time scar will fade by itself.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
