I have what is believed to be dyshidrotic eczema on my hands. about 10 years ago, i had a positive ana blood test. is there any connection?

No: Ignore ana's unless they are very high titer or relate to specific concerns. Millions of people just in the us have had positive ana's that mean absolutely nothing.
