Overwashing without soap

I have this pretty bad habit where I'll look in the mirror, feel terrible about my skin, and want to take a nice long calming shower. I guess it's sort of OCD. Unfortunately this happens around 5-6 times a day. I don't use soap (well, maybe once every other day), just semi-warm water. The skin on my cheeks and the side of my nose has been getting really really red, raw, and irritated, could this be because of overwashing? Even if I don't use soap? I also have seb derm so I assumed it was because of that.

I know that overwashing is bad, but I always assumed dermatologists meant overwashing with harsh soaps and scrubbing was bad.

Please someone help me. I'm seeing apsychiatrist for the OCD, but what should I do for the dry chapped face and nose?
