This is an area of halocha where you could be transgressing a Torah prohibition. There is also a gray area, which might be allowed – depending on various factors. I urge you to ask a Rav. It is very risky to go through life without a Rav to ask. In addition if these types of things become compulsive they can be a sign of OCD, which is treatable. I suggest that anyone with these types of issues turn to the appropriate professionals for guidance.
