Yes to vaseline: In general, vaseline is a barrier ointment and by being a barrier, helps keep bacterial counts down and decreases chance of infection. It also helps with wound moisture and new skin regrowth. So if your skin still has an abrasion, vaseline two to three times a day is generally good for wound healing.
