I personally wouldn't use Neosporin. Guess everybody has their favorites.
I tend to use an herbal powder, Golden Seal, for sores and minor skin
breaks. I buy it at the health food store in capsules, and break open the
capsules.
I also use Aloe Vera based cream sometimes, and I use homeopathic arnica
cream. If there's much bleeding, I use arnica orally. For that particular
thing with your baby, I'd probably get some arnica cream at the health food
store.
I kind of do a mixture of allopathic and homeopathic and herbal remedies.

Hi Cherie -
When my sweet Mittens started regurgitating his food, he also had swollen
lymph nodes. The vet diagnosed lymphoma. There were several traditional
chemo options. I chose to get Vincristine shots for him. It did make the
lymph nodes go down, he could eat without throwing up, and he seemed to
feel better.
After a few shots, his skin became very sensitive - I assumed it was the
Vincristine. he had a few sores, and the skin would break easily. One time
I came home and found blood on the bathroom floor. he must have been
playing with another cat, or perhaps fallen.
I can't remember what I did for it, but was suspicious of the vincristine.
Think I put aloe vera on it, or gave supplements orally. I later learned
about the Wisconsin protocol, where the drugs are alternated.
Just my experience - best of luck,
Gloria
Have a purrfect day
Cherie
