Vaseline or sudocrem with plaster over?

Sudafed has antibacterial properties and absorbs like a skin cream. Vaseline works a trick but can be a bit messy if you apply too much. Moisturising often is the key.

What is recommended
Not asking on the internet, but seeing the nurse at your GP practice for wound care. They have a lot of experience and know the best products and practices.

I have some really deep, crusty, large scabs on both knees. They were that bad that I was prescribed antibiotics. What is recommended for keeping them moisturised so that they don't keep cracking? Seen vaseline suggested, but that sounds a bit messy, and I don't want to invite any infection or dirt, as antibiotics course finished today.
