My ribs are deformed, i'm 18 and i don't drink milk at all. my mother is convinced it's rickets but i can't find much on teen rickets, is it likely?

Pectus Excavatum: It is usually pectus excavatum and less often pectus corinatum. The deformity could be caused by rickets, but it is more often inherited. You can see a thoracic surgeon if you want to hear about surgical options for improving the deformity.
