[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Any lung insult whether TB or pneumonia or trauma can cause scar in lungs after healing. And healing can occur by1. Fibrosis2. Calcification3. Rarely complete resolution. So you are having calcific lesion in lung due to past lung insult.  This is not active lesion. This will not harm you or community.  And no treatment is required as it is not a disease or harmful. And once a calcified nodule, always a calcified nodule. It will remain as it is. No need to worry about this. For your work visa related problems, I advise you to consult pulmonologist and get done CT THORAX and Bronchoscopy and BAD (Bronchi Alveolar Lavage) analysis for TB. If both are negative than you can argue visa authorities about not having active TB.
