Brief Answer:
You could have connective tissue disorder running in your family

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have very carefully gone through your query and understand your concerns. You need to be evaluated for collagen vascular disease or mixed connective tissue disorders. Before going to any doctor of any speciality, I would insist you to get the following tests done:
* Blood for antinuclear antibody (ANA)
* Blood for Anti-RNP antibodies and Rheumatoid factor
* DNA and biochemical studies as well as skin biopsy can be subsequently required

You can upload the reports after getting them done and I would guide you further. As of now, my suggestion would be to visit a rheumatologist but I do not recommend it at the moment.
