Hello,
It sounds like an autoimmune inflammatory disease. There is a possibility of being a rheumatic disease like arthritis, scleroderma, lupus etc.
Anti-ANA antibodies are needed to determine the kind of diseases which is causing it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
