The things you mentioned with your behaviour is directing to the OCD. However, the root cause of your problem the disease spread in the people around you.
The disease is not contagious and life threatening.
Also, you can reach out to the nearest healthcare facility and ask them to find the reason of disease in your area.
Rather than feeling of disgust you should help them.
It will direct your obsession and compulsion of washing hands, bathing and fear.
The conative feeling of helping can keep your brain distracted and with time you may not be feeling fear and disgust.
Next Steps
Reach out to nearby healthcare facility.
Health Tips

Hi
The fear you are having about your health is triggering certain kinds of behaviour. You wash your hands twenty times and bathe ten times. To feel better consult a psychologist and explain about your fear. A psychologist will help you manage anxiety and feel calm.
You can gradually work on overcoming your fear. Be patient with yourself. Counselling sessions will help you.
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist
Health Tips

Vitiligo is neither contagious nor life-threatening. There are many celebrities in the world who have / had vitiligo, Michael Jackson being just one of them (ref. Wikipedia). In India some of them are politician Chandrababu Naidu, former Chief justice P. Sathasivam and Raymond Group Director Gautam Singhania. Yet I do not think you will be able to overcome your aversion for people with vitiligo without the support of a mental healthcare professional. With that I suggest you approach a psychologist who may be able to take you out of this issue.
