Hi.just want to ask if there' s way to remove my ptb scar?.I have my ptb back then 2008 but I'm completely treated (6mos) with my pulmonologist..but it still have the scar..
Hi Angel,
You can't remove the scars - ever.
Just like a scar on your skin, it is permanent. They will always appear on an x-ray.
Sorry.
Good luck.
Hello :) i already finish my 6months treatment for my minimal ptb right upper lobe. This last may 13,2015 but when i xray again..its the same results... I need my xray results to be a negative for ptb. Just because medical test for work abroad..i don't what will i do? Pls.help
Hi Arturo,
You won't ever show a clear x-ray. It's scar tissue.
Talk to your pulmonologist/doctor. There are OTHER means to determine if you have PTB.
I had a xray before. The result is I have a PTB! Then now I have a medication for 6 months. Will the scars still be there on a xray after the medication?
