grazes or scratches

What is the best treatment for minor graze or scratches. I put a bit antibacterial ointment and left it open. I am worried as he may rub his face to the bed or other surfaces and it may make it worse. Anything to protect the area?
Has anyone used germolene new skin? Does it work? Anything I can use for preventing a scar?
Maybe i should open a new thread for this.

I've found Savlon antiseptic spray brilliant for minor scratches etc. mainly because you don't use finger/cotton wool to apply to the area - just gently spray. To prevent a scar I would apply vasaline.

Bathe with water, maybe a bit of savlon then leave for the air to dry it.
