How Can A Minor Fibrotic Lesion At The Chest S Left Midzone Be Removed?

Hi Doctor, Greetings for the Day. I recently had chest X Ray for Oman Visa but it showed minor fibrotic lesion at left mid zone so they are declaring me unfit. Previously i had worked in Dubai for last 3 years. Is there any way to remove this lesion as it is hindering my career? Further, i never had been diagnosed of any disease in my medical history. Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

lesion in lung can be due to healing of any infective lesion. So you might have a past infection of lung and so fibrotic lesion can be there due to that. A steroid course can be prescribed for your lesion.

But fibrosis are irreversible from of healing (chronic inflammation). So it cannot be cleared completely. You can consult a pulmonologist for examination.

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