Neosporin is an antibiotic, used to prevent or treat minor infections. If the bruised area included broken skin (a cut, scrape, puncture, or burn that compromised the barrier the skin provides) then applying neosporin or another topical antibiotic could be beneficial
There is no reason to apply an antibiotic to a plain bruise
National Domestic Violence Hotline website as this line of inquiry is potentially concerning

On the contrary, it's likely to cause more damage, rupture blood vessels, and increase healing time
