Causes of Rheumatoid Nodules
It is still not fully understood why rheumatoid nodules happen. In most cases, people get these lumps when they have had rheumatoid arthritis for a long period. These growths typically contain certain components, such as:
– Dead skin cells from proteins in your body
– Inflammatory cells caused by rheumatoid arthritis
– Fibrin from tissue damage, which plays a part in blood clotting [2]
