Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
A nodule as seen in your CT scan lung is a small old area of infection that has healed over months or years. It is harmless in nature and the location is subpleural which is just under the lung covering. It is described as granuloma. If you are non smoker then there is no worry at all.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
