The question

Is what the girl afflicted with obsessive thoughts (waswās) does regarding purification (ṭahāra) and ritual bathing (ghusl) correct, in terms of not inspecting her clothes and checking for discharges, and not performing ghusl when the color of her clothes changes due to scratching at night, and her doubt about her purity during prayer?

The answer

Continue to disregard the waswas (whispers of Satan) and pay no attention to them, whether concerning purity or prayer, for they are from Satan. Do not go to extremes in inserting a tissue to check for discharge, and do not inspect your clothes. If you confirm something, then act accordingly; otherwise, leave the delusions. Scratching at night does not necessarily cause anything to come out, and if something does come out, it is not necessarily maniy (seminal fluid). If what comes out is not maniy, then only the impurity needs to be washed upon certainty or strong suspicion; otherwise, pay no attention to it, and there is no need for (ritual bathing). Perform wudu' (ablution) after ' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) and pray, and do not exaggerate in matters of purity.
