I've got a spare to replace it with, but wondering if it would be safe to reuse in future?

do you think the tyre will repair itself over time and the bulges go away?
the tyre is scrap, once its been run flat, or even left flat with the weight of the car on it for a length of time, the side walls will be damaged, and could blow out if inflated and used.
