Can you use antibacterial cream like savlon on dermal filler injection sites?

Desperate to use some savlon on the needle marks, but the nurse told me to use arnica cream- which says on the tube 'do not use on broken skin' which I just think is strange because my skin must qualify as being broken as it has been punctured here the little injection sites are? I have used savlon all my life on small cuts and broken skin and have never ever had an infection- so why can't I use it for dermal filler aftercare?
