Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, there is no way to remove Scar marks from lungs.
Actually Scar marks are old, healed, inactive lesions. They are basically dead tissue.
So no treatment is required hence available for these scars.
You are should get done CT thorax and bronchoscopy.
If both these are negative for active infections, you can't argue with visa authorities.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
