If the scabs keeping coming back it sounds like you have more than a issue of roosters and hens fighting, damaging each other's combs. Did you look at the fowl pox sites that Dean posted? If you have fwol pox, you are spreading it. If it's pox you need to separate/quarantine the sick chickens and decide what you are going to do with them and vaccinate the rest with a chick vaccine twice.

Yes now that you mention it, they were hot. So you suggest to keep
rubbing the oil in and rubbing the scabs off?
