yes mating aggression is normal.
like you said her wounds aren't severe so you don't have to worry too much about it. If either one stops eating though you should seperate them, just keep an eye out for changes in behavior

you may put just a very tiny amount of Neosporin or triple antibiotic ointment on it if you feel you must. Chances are it will heal over by the next shed though even without treatment. The only breeding bites I worry about are ones on the eyes, ears, jaw, etc.
