So, this again might sound silly. But I believe I've developed some kind of OCD thing due to not doing anything about my anxiety, in which I wash my hands I think up to 20-25 times a day. My hand crack and bleed and hurt because of this, and I put on lotion but I feel like there's fumes in the lotion that could make me go blind or something, so I wash it off sometimes.
Now, my knuckle has split really bad in two places next to eachother, and it's like... really open. My whole thumb is red on top almost, and it's splotchy red around the area too. I put on lotion and it actually feels a lot better, but I'm concerned about it getting infected and i'm going to die.
Somebody please just put me out of my misery/confusion.

Hi ShantheArtist23

I can not comment specifically as to whether or not you have OCD as you have simply stated that you "believe" you may have developed some kind of OCD.

Yes, I think if you are doing this to a degree where it is becoming infected, might I suggest that you perhaps seek medical opinion about your current situation please.

In the meantime, please feel free to have a look at this forum:

You got a good case of anxiety. Seeing a doctor is in order.
