Just wondering: what specialty of doctor typically diagnoses vasculitis? I am talking about the skin kind that can occur with Sjogren's syndrome. This is something I'm thinking I need to either rule out or confirm, or at least discuss with an expert.

I went to a dermatologist in 2004 because of skin rashes. I asked him about the weird dark red spots on my legs. He said it was petechia, but when I've mentioned this to other doctors, no one ever followed up on it.

If I do have vasculitis, couldn't that be causing or at least contributing to the neuropathy? Trying to cover all reasonable bases here.
