I'm pretty sure that most of what Neosporin is is Vaseline... And it makes sense. It's basically Vaseline with a mild antibiotic.
Vaseline is awesome for preventing scars too: when the wound is still open, use Neosporin, but after it closes up a bit and is just healing, switch to Vaseline and just keep it in Vaseline until it's totally gone.
This.
Wounds heal best when they're kept moist and have a barrier.
Carmex lip balm as well.
No need for the Neosporin at all, just use the vaseline
