Nodular fasciitis is a reactive fibroblastic growth; however, the majority of patients lack an apparent (recognized) history of injury[ 1 ], and its etiology remains unclear. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Skin-directed therapies Topical chemotherapy – creams containing drugs which may be used to kill and prevent the growth and division of cancer cells Phototherapy UVB – broad and narrow band, and PUVA – the use of ultraviolet light to treat the skin Radiation [leukaemia.org.au]
