Chalk and alcohol dry the surface of the skin. That is useful during the session and harsh if it is the only thing your hands ever see. Wash the chalk off with soap and water, then use a plain moisturizer at night.
Do not moisturize immediately before you chalk. Lotion is a lubricant. It is the opposite of what you want on the bar.
Climbskin Hand cream
Hand cream for dry, worked hands. Use it after you wash chalk off, not before you train.
Lotion on the hands before a session makes chalk fail. Nighttime is the right time.

This is not medical treatment. An infected tear needs a clinician.
