It's probably body dysmorphic disorder rather that OCD. BDD and OCD appear to be closely related. SSRIs are generally the most effective medication for BDD. As is the case with OCD, high doses may be required.
BDD........
'Preoccupation with an imagined defect in appearance. If a slight physical anomaly is present, the person's concern is markedly excessive. '
Fluoxetine (Prozac) is frequently an effective treatment for MDD.
