Skin getting raw and sensitive from hanging

So guys my skin is getting raw and sensitive from hanging, such that I cannot hang anymore with any degree of comfort, and even touching my raw skin with my finger feels a bit uncomfortable. I am wondering the best way to avoid this. I have been using hose clamps tightened down very tight, over a home made wrench, with a thin layer of bandana cloth underneath a couple layers of theraband. I have not been using any moisturizer or lotion, but will get some today.
