You definitely have a serious OCD problem. Everything you describe is characteristic of an "obsession".....something you are compelled to do and cannot stop doing. I understand exactly how it feels because I too have OCD.....only my obsession consists of picking and peeling off skin....mainly on my hands. I pick the skin and then put it in my mouth and chew on it. Most of the time I pick my palms and fingers until they bleed....then go around with band-aids everywhere.
I've been seeing a counselor for about 7 years now as a result of severe sexual abuse from the ages of 8 thru 17.... and my OCD is just one of many side effects from that trauma.
You really need to get yourself into therapy as your OCD is the result of something deeper going on. Best of luck to you.
