Hello,
Consult a pulmonologist and get evaluated.
Single scar might be due to old and healed infection like old tuberculosis and does not require any active treatment.
When there is multiple scars we have to rule out possible causes like pulmonary fibrosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
