it doesnt seem related to an autoimmune disorder

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

this seems unlikely to be due to a systemic autoimmune disease.
as generally there are more systemic features with that.
the ana can be positive in low titers in healthy individuals also.
this could be a form of dermatitis or allergy.
it would be best to see a dermatologist.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further
