I use a good alcohol based dit dar jow ointment I get from my local Chinese herbalist. Cheap and effective but dont use if you have any open cuts on the skin.
Alcohol is much better than any oil based ointment for the hands as it penetrates without need for a load of massaging and is quickly absorbed throughout the dermis.
I am assuming you workout on the bag with bare fists? While your fists are healing continue your usual regime but strike with your palms instead. Even if you've never used palms before and find it quite awkward, stick with it and you will improve, while still giving your body the same workout it gets from punches. Also work more on the various elbows, striking with the forearm, shoulder and your headbutts too if you like.
