Scratching hands

[Anonymous]

Hi I think I have some form of ocd because when I relax, like when I watch TV or am lying in bed i catch myself scratching my hands obsessively for no reason. I notice It because my hands are hurting and tired from doing It so long. Does anyone else do this? Does anyone know why this starts?
