My daughter does gymnastics and she gets rips on her hands all the time. is there anyway we can help it heal faster or prevent them from happening.

Moisturize: Encourage your daughter to use moisturizer on her hands. She should wash any chalk off her hands after gymnastics and apply moisturizer at that time and before going to bed. Additional applications during the day may also help. Choose an unscented product with vitamin E in it, preferably a creme or ointment which will provide better protection and penetration to the skin as compared to a lotion.
