I dont know if it is active or not because after my medication I was not able to follow up it to my doctor.Is the scar is there? Is there any anatural treatment to erase the tb scar?
[|AI|]  Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorI am sorry to hear that you had TB as a young adult. You are concerned about the scarring that is residual from your TB. There will most likely be scarring which will show that the TB is no longer active. If the X-ray shows that you have new lesions then of course it would be active again. But most likely since you are not having symptoms fever chills cough or blood in your sputum then you are not active Hope I answered you question. Please contact us again with your medical questions and concerns.
