Hi thanks for asking question.
Scar form when healing occurs.
Here your scar might be from some form of restrictive disease.Examples are interstitial pneumonia, lobar pneumonia or cryptogenic fibrotic disease.
You have no other history so can have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Once scar form it is irreversible condition.
During infection scar can be prevented with early institution of therapy.
How much scar affecting your respiratory system that can be evaluated by pulmonary function test.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has no percent cure.
Oxygen therapy and exercise done.
Esbriet drug can be use in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Strictly smoking avoided.
Pulmonary rehabilitation helpful.
These measures can be done for idiopathic scar on lung.
I hope my suggestion will helpful to you
