MDD1994, 18

I have a phobia of hair. I have to check everything, and make sure that it doesn't have any loose hair on it. I checked my towel, and it was clean that I saw. Then when I was drying after my bath I noticed a piece of hair, and now I can't get in my mind that I am clean. Like, I feel that, that one piece of hair has completely contaminated me. I don't know what to do. I have cleaned myself again, but I just can't shake it that I am clean. I am having panic attacks from it and all. I don't know how to get in my head I'm clean. What can I do?
