Meghana writes two (not necessarily distinct) primes $q$ and $r$ in base $10$ next to each other on a blackboard, resulting in the concatenation of $q$ and $r$ (for example, if $q = 13$ and $r = 5$, the number on the blackboard is now $135$). She notices that three more than the resulting number is the square of a prime $p$. Find all possible values of $p$.
