Thanks for your question your question on Healthcare.
I can understand your concern.
Almost all tubercular lung lesions heal by fibrosis or calcification. They form permanent Scar on lungs.
These scars are inactive, noninfectious lesions.
They are seen lifelong.
No treatment is required hence available for these scars as they are inactive and non harmful.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
