Actually, you honestly shouldn't be soaking your hands in dirty water until they heal. Rips (that's what gymnasts call them) are prone to cracking and bleeding while going through the healing process. If your rips crack, and you wash dishes in a camp setting, you could end up with an infection. :p
After the first day or two, you'll want to use the lanolin over the *sporin, unless you get a crack.
lol...yes, gymnasts are insane. I spent 8 years with those spots, alternating with huge callouses, in the spot you've got yours, on the other side of both palms, and at the base of each finger. I couldn't run my hands over certain kinds of fabric for fear of snagging the fibers.
