I have i week old road rash from bicycle crash. healing well, on rx antibiotic. very dry,burns extremely bad when i stand after siting. use lotion?

Well, yes, but: dermatologic conditions are hard to discuss without seeing them and you'd want to watch for infection. Tightness occurs mostly when it is healing correctly. The ingredients in lotions and antibiotic cremes overlap significantly, and would moisturize but still protect from infection.
