Hi,
I am sorry. The treatment options available for a fidronodular infiltration with a scar are very limited. Surgical resection of the affected part can be done. However, the scar remains.
I hope to have answered your query.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
There is no medication to take care of the scar as scars in the tissue do not get repaired. They are usually permanent.
If you do not have active tuberculosis, I think you can get it certified by a physician that this is an old lesion and is highly prevalent in India. There is no treatment for this and you'd be not infectious to other people.
Hope this helps
