I would never recommended asking for medical advice online. If it is something you are concerned about, ask your doctor.

Yeah I'm one of the 30% of Americans who are too poor to have a doctor xD
I'll see if I can get a consultation lol
While /c/askscience doesn’t have a rule against soliciting medical advice, I’d strongly recommend against trusting the comments from random internet strangers. Especially those without authoritative sources to back them up.
Unfortunately the only way to get a reliable answer to your question is to speak to a medical professional.
Scaring is healing...
So while I was gonna say "no", I googled to see if organ scarring was different and it is
Just not in a good news type of way. Apparently the scar will keep spreading, which is healing. But it's maladaptive like cancer and may have continued to replace healthy tissue with scar tissue in an attempt to heal.
This is definitely something you ask your doctor about
Oof, alright. I guess I better go see a doctor :/
You should always be on your toes as you get older.
To strengthen the calves, presumably?
From my very limited understanding and personal experience, some may be able to.
At the end of 2010 I became seriously ill, and one of the issues I had was ground glass lesions in one of my lungs. About two or three years ago, I was having some health issues again and asked if the lesions were anything to do with it. I was told that they had healed over time and were gone.
The name lesions suggests that they were open wounds, but I'd always understood it that they were scars. Because of my other health issues though, I've never really looked into it, everything else took priority.
