Based on the history you have shared, you need to have a baseline autoimmune work up for any signs of autoimmune systemic vasculitis. ANA, CRP, ESR, RA factor and ENA profile may be needed. Dermatologist review and rheumatologist review may be helpful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
