Can incidental finding of a 0.3 cm diameter nodule with punctuate calcification in lung on ct scan go away on its own? could it be scar tissue? 31 year old non smoker?

Yes: Yes it can be scar tissue and it is possible for it to resolve over time. You are low risk for malignant nodules so you can opt to do a follow up CT scan in a year to ensure stability.
