I recently had an x-ray done and it showed a scar on my lungs. The report mentioned it's an old TB scar that's not currently active. Is there any treatment or medicine available to help get rid of this scar and have a clear lung x-ray? Also, I'm trying to understand the PPD test better. If there's swelling in my arm with a red area around the injection site but no noticeable bump, would that be considered a positive result?

I'm a bit concerned about my oxygen saturation levels after recovering from COVID. Sometimes, while I'm sleeping, my SpO2 drops to around 91-92, but during the day it seems normal at 95. My CT scan showed a value of 1225. Should I be worried about these numbers, and how long might it take for everything to get back to normal?
