How does one get tested to check whether they have vasculitis or not? Been having red pin prick dots on my legs. After a week of hospitalization, the doctors suggests that I might have "some form of vasculitis". The condition has recurred quite a bit since April up till now. Still no exact diagnosis from the doctors. Any advice?

To confirm the diagnosis of vascultis, we need skin biopsy and histopathology exam.
