Default Reuse old hub with a few small gouges?

In the process of replacing the two front wheel bearings on my 93 civic hb cx and managed to gouge the surface of the hub multiple times with a wheel bearing splitter when removing the bearing race. Would there be any issue if I reused the hub? Any help would be appreciated.

it's fine as long as there are no sharp edges.

like kyden said, its ok but i would give it a quick smoothing with a piece of emery cloth to make sure there are no burrs that could cause issue with the new bearing

Thank you both for your input. I will reuse the hub and eliminate any burrs before installing.
