Scratch on face

Help my one year old launched herself and landed face down on a flip flop decorated with Perspex flowers and came up scratched and screaming. No blood but the skin is broken - she looks like she has been in a cat fight. It happened 24 hours ago, the redness has gone down but I'm getting nervous about scarring. I have cleaned with water and am applying antibacterial and repair lotion - has anyone else been through this? Any advice about preventing scarring ?
Many thanks

I'd be surprised if it scars if there's been no bleeding. It'll probably leave red marks for a while, but they'll fade. DS cus his forehead open (loads of blood, wouldn't let me attend to it) and a year later it's barely visible.
