Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi. Its not clear if the spot is on chest x ray or on chest. Spot on chest x ray is due to fibrosis and may persist for a long time/lifetime. However, its not a cause of concern. If the spot is on chest, certain interventions would result in improvement in cosmetic appearance. Thanks
