You have to have your OCD under control so mention that to your Psych. In the meantime wear surgical type gloves all the time so when you wash your hands it does not harm your skin. In the meantime use a moisturizing lotion on your hands.

The best way to repair your hands is to get professional treatment for your OCD with a Psychiatrist for medication and a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy.
