Suggest Treatment For A Bump On Breast Bone
My name is danielle and I am 23 years old and I have this bump on my breat bone since I was 14/15. I went to different doctors to figure out what it actually was. The last doctor I saw about this told me and my mother it was just overgrown cartilage. But it has grown bigger over the years and the pain is severe at times. My ribcage at times feels like it's being restricted. I can not even wear a bra because it is uncomfortable. I have recently been told on a separate matter that I have lipoma. And I have a vitamin D deficiency. I also have very high cholesterol,but that is because of genetics. Please please tell me what I can do. Thank you.

hi,
from your clinical history ,it looks like that whatever it may be either overgrown bone /cartilage or lipoma,it is definitely benign in nature as it is for so many duration and has not produced any symptoms yes except for pressure symptoms due to its size.
tretment-medicinal part has very little or no role (for the purpose of pain relieving only).surgical excision will be more helpful in this case.
