Answer 1

Bag Balm.  I'm a fisherman and it works wonders for me.

Answer 2

they make gauze that is pre-treated with ointment or vasaline, not sure what they're called. but they come sealed in packs and are good for burns and dry skin. if you cover and wrap them it they should feel better.

if they really hurt then i'd try holding the line diffrerently, i find it's less abrasive when the line is wet.
