General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi.
I've gone through the history given in your query and I am of the opinion that you seem to be suffering from a psychological disorder called transvestism or cross-dressing.

Since your desire of getting attracted towards female clothes is increasing day by day causing distress, I therefore advise you to consult a psychologist/psychiatrist for further evaluation and treatment which may involve psychotherapy or behavior modifications.

Psychotherapy, when needed, is focused on helping people accept themselves and control behaviors that could cause problems.

Remember there is no effective medication to prevent or treat this disorder.

Hope to have answered your query.

Best wishes.
