HI, i did review your concern. I believe your condition can be due to one of the spondyloarthropathies . Red eye can be due to iridocyclitis. I would advice you to go for CBC, ESR, and HLA b27 studies to determine if it is there. It is a type of autoimmune disorder and sometimes can affect your skin, and bowel too. so early treatment helps. mostly it is in form of steroids or immunomodulaters.
I hope this helps
wish you a healthy life ahead
