mine had a long term problem with "mud fever" infections. i took the long approach, which included looking at the diet now on general vitamins, brewers yeast, linseed and rose hips mix in with chaff no alfa A. to treat the infection/inflammation which was very similar to what your knees looked liked.
first surgical iodine scrub, (with out detergent) cheap from boots also known as povadine applied once a day, no picking no washing. this gradually cleared up the infection, i also treat 1-2 weeks with a sheep foot rot spray (purple but not purple spray)
by feeding from within and not washing to much i have gradually cleared this up. still on the supplements and also in the winter i now apply udder cream with a little bit of sulphur in it as a barrier. but no washing etc, i even don't wash the legs if i am giving a bath..
it was a long process but it seems to be working
