Hi, I'm 17yrs of age and I'm pretty skinny, but healthy, for my age and I was wondering if any one could help me with information protruding chest bone. It's bothered me for some time now and I'm wondering if anything could be done about it. Help would be much appreciated-

 The condition is known medically as pectus carinatum and more commonly as "pigeon chest".
There are treatments depending on how severe the protrusion is.
