General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

The upper part of your lung has got some healed lesions probably be due to old infection like old pulmonary tuberculosis.

It is not an active focus of infection and no treatment is required now.

You can consult a pulmonologist and plan for a repeat X-ray to assess the progress.

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