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?

A strongly positive ANA and ongoing joint pain may suggest autoimmune involvement like lupus or another connective tissue disorder. Consult a rheumatologist for accurate diagnosis.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY (ANA) Test or Take a Anti Ds DNA test Test

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
