Dear,
It appears that you are suffering from anxiety disorder. To be specific, it is obsessive compulsive disorder. Your obsession (cleanliness) forces you to engage in a compulsive behavior (washing hands or changing clothes frequently).
Treatment requires, both, medicines as well as Psychotherapy. You should see a psychiatrist or a Psychologist who will be able to help you overcome this disorder.
