I have been noticing white and red patches on both my palms after carrying bags, which disappear within 4 to 5 minutes. This was not happening 4 to 5 years ago. Could this be related to vitamin deficiency or general weakness? My blood reports, haemoglobin levels, and sugar levels are normal (I have been on diabetes medication for the past 10 years). Please advise

This likely indicates vascular flushing or pressure induced capillary reaction. If transient and not itchy/painful, it is usually benign. Nutritional causes are unlikely. However, if persistent, consider dermatology or neurology review.

Question

ANA hep2 is positive at 1:80. What does my report mean? What illness do I have? I have mild fever for many days and I am unable to go to work. I have been told to consult an orthopedician.

Last week, 1.5 liters of fluid was removed from the space between my lungs. Since then, I have been experiencing rapid weight loss, loss of appetite, bitterness in the mouth, constant fatigue, and a persistent cough. All lab reports have come back normal, and TB has been ruled out, but the doctors have not been able to give a clear diagnosis yet. I am very concerned and would appreciate it if you could review the situation and let me know if there is anything more we should do

Question

I suffered from viral fever one month ago. After 2 to 3 days I got red rashes all over my body. Dengue and Chikungunya tests were negative. Now, since one month I am suffering from acute joint pain. My blood report for ANA is strongly positive. Please suggest?
