does lung scar is always show to the xray once the patient is cured in TB? or is there posibilities that the patient cannot have scar once he/she was cured to the TB?

Hi Melvin,

You'll always show scarring - the tissue is damaged.  Just like when you injure your skin, when the lung is injured - by the infection - a scar remains.

any medicine or treatment could help to rid-off the said scar?

also, could scar be reoccure by infection again?

Nothing can get rid of the scar. The tissue is damaged and will never recover.

Yes, the scar could indicate reinfection.
