For your visa clearance we need to prove that this spot is not active infectious lesion, it is just old healed scar lesion. For this CT thorax with Contrast and Bronchoscopy with XXXXXXX (bronchoalveolar lavage) analysis are needed.
No treatment is available to remove this spot from lung.

Detailed Answer:

I can understand your concern.
CT thorax with Contrast will cost you around 5000 rupees.
And Bronchoscopy with XXXXXXX analysis will cost you around 8000-9000 rupees.
But better to get done in recognized centers (recognized for Gulf visa).
In our institute when applicant found to have such calcified spot on chest x ray, we send him for CT scan. We also do Bronchoscopy and XXXXXXX analysis after CT scan.
If both are negative for tuberculosis and other infection then we give fitness for visa.
Please tell me where are you living, so that I can guide you where too go and whom to consult.
