Does A Sore Lump In The Sternum Need Medical Attention?

My boyfriend has been complaining about a lump at the bottom of his sternum. He keeps pressing it and touching it which is only making it sore. He did research and it sounds normal, what should we look out for to determine if it's something that needs medical attention?
