OCD excessive handwashing, skin peeled

2023-01-26 15:18:24
My mother has OCD of handwashing. She constantly washes hand every 5 minutes. This has been going on for 15-20 years. Now her hands have become very dry and skin has eroded and whole hand is white and red. She is complaining of a lot of pain. She won't give up her handwashing. Any medicine or creams to sooth her hand pain and burning?
