Suggest Treatment For A Scar On The Lung

Hi. Sir there is an old scar on my lung. I am going to apply for Dubai visa. I heard visa authorities in UAE can reject my visa because of that scar. So what should I do? I also want to get my x ray from some private lab before applying for visa. Sir can u mention the name of the chest x ray which are being conducted in UAE government labs, so i get those x rays before hand and consult a specialist doctor. Thanx

Hello,

Wherever you take X-ray, the same findings will be there. For what is the previous history you got scar in lung tissue. Usually it is called fibrosis. It depends upon the size and position. It is a problem. After treatment of TB, fibrosis and scar will form while healing. Consult a pulmonologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
