Lately I been getting very bad urges to picky skin repeatedly.. Or to do something over and over..I.e. Cleaning or doing the same routine.. If something messes that up I get angrier and way more frustrated

I meant pick at skin

Skin picking, or dermatillomania, is a condition related to OCD but is not OCD itself (kinda like Tourette's is related, but isn't OCD). Your other symptoms sound similar to OCD.
We aren't professionals here, so we can't tell you if you have either condition, but by the sounds of it, it may be helpful for you to see a therapist or doctor because there is a chance you may have one of these conditions and they could accurately diagnose you and get you the treatment you need.
 
I have OCD but not dermatillomania. Exposure therapy and medication have both really helped me.
