Max would be lifetime. Hard to predict with it will erupt again. Stress & other illness than messes with immunsystem may lead to activiation. Discuss with your Drs there as they will know the usual story in folks like you in Sri Lanka.

It varies from person to person depending on their immune system and no body can predict it.
