Neosporin will help a little. But if you can (post-clean room) go to the drugstore and look for a thick non-stinging lanolin-based balm. (I wish I could remember a brand name for you.) To cover, use nonstick gauze pads and medical or athletic tape wrapped all the way around your hand to keep the gauze in place.
Do this for about 2-3 days, then you'll need to uncover them to let them dry out to finish healing. By then, the balms will have done their job and the pain will be lots less.
Serious gymnasts spend their careers with hands that look just like yours do now. Bleeding from the palms is not considered an excuse not to continue doing bar workouts each day. So I learned lots of fun tricks for dealing. :p
