I Got A Very Large Abrasion On My Shin About

I got a very large abrasion on my shin about 4 days ago and it has scabbed over but it is getting reddish edges and is feeling burn-y. My wife cleaned the dirt off and applied hydrogen peroxide immediately after it happened. Should we have applied an anti biotic ointment after it happened or should I now apply it?
