Severe OCD and anxiety issues

[Guest Posts]

I already see my GP for severe OCD and anxiety and one of the physical effects is that I wash too much in hot water. Is this contributing to my awfully red, sore and sensitive facial skin, I think its rosacea too? Can I ask for help with this symptom alongside all the mental health treatments I am getting or waiting for? I just seem to have so much wrong with me but my face really upsets me and makes me feel ugly and more anxious?
