Have you looked into a bike fit? It's quite a common problem, and setting up your bike differently could help you relieve some pressure at hot spots. For instance shortening the stem could give you a more upright position and less weight on your arms. A wider or narrower handlebar could alter the angle of your wrists (on a road bike). Etc. etc., many things to look into, depending on what the cause is.

The fit itself isn't so much the problem as the inevitable areas where my hands contact the handlebars. My grip is too tight so that's why the padding helps as much as it does, it is much softer than the material that the handlebars are covered with. On warm days it isn't perfect though (because it also covers parts of my hands that I'd rather have exposed on warm days) and I've been looking at getting softer coverings for the handlebars to help with that. I've already changed a lot about the geometry of that particular bike to improve matters substantially, this is the one remaining bit.
