How Can, Presumably Dry Skin Sores In The Hand, Be Treated?

My daughter s hands (not palms) get small sores from what appears to be dry skin. She is away at college and said riding her bike makes it worse sometimes because she is stretching her skin to hold onto the handlebars. Can you recommend a good medicated lotion?
