Does leukemia patches fade away in week and come back again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes they can: Skin nodules due to Leukemia can regress when treated with chemotherapy. If the disease is aggressive, it can grow back quickly. This is usually a very bad sign and it indicates that the chemotherapy is not going to be able to control the disease for long....a change in treatment to a new set of drugs is usually required in such situations.
