Yes, you are having contact dermatitis to soap/chemicals in it due to excessive use.
Continuous use of soap for long duration, decrease the moisture of skin, makes skin dry and fragile and easy to break and cause cuts in the skin.
You need to apply soothing skin moisturizer with urea, ceramide base moisturizer to prevent dryness of skin and allergy, immediately after taking bath and everytime after hand wash.
Best step is to stop washing hands continuously for long duration in soap.
Consult your psychiatrist for further help regarding that.
