Apply Petroleum jelly frequently especially after washing hands. Painful areas could be infected so apply an antibacterial cream like Soframycin. For the irritation you will need a prescription.
Next Steps
Consult with images if problem is persistent and recurrent.
Health Tips
If you're by yourself and not stepping out or touching surfaces that other people have touched like doorknobs, no need to keep washing hands all the time.
