Peace be upon you. I am afflicted with a skin disease on my body and head, which causes continuous pimples that do not cease. They resemble acne and often bleed, sometimes even with just a touch. They only heal after several days, making it difficult to perform ghusl or ablution for many days, as one pimple disappears while another appears. I have reached a point where I can hardly find a period when these pimples stop appearing, and sometimes they are located in areas where I need to perform ablution. My question is: Can I perform ablution or ghusl without paying attention to these pimples, and without checking for their presence or any blood on them, even if I am 100% certain of their existence or that blood is coming from them? This is due to my habit of performing ghusl directly even if there is blood, and I assume that the area is pure. I also do not consider that water may flow from these pimples onto the pure areas beneath them, causing them to become impure. I have become obsessive about this matter, and I find it difficult to purify myself and also difficult to assume that I am pure. I do not know which ones have healed and which ones have not. Perhaps tayammum is not my obligation. Should I wash directly and completely ignore the existence of everything?

It is permissible to perform ablution or ghusl without considering the pimples that bleed, as long as you are certain that the bleeding does not affect the purity of the water used for ablution or ghusl. You should not let your obsessive thoughts prevent you from performing your religious duties. If you are certain that the area is pure, you can proceed with your ablution or ghusl without worrying about the pimples or any blood that may come from them.
It is important to remember that the essence of purification is to maintain your intention and to perform the acts of worship as prescribed. If you find it difficult to determine which pimples have healed and which have not, you should focus on your ablution and ghusl without letting these concerns overwhelm you.
For further guidance, you may refer to the relevant religious texts and consult with knowledgeable individuals in your community.
