Pectus coronatum : your condition may be a benign congenital condition called pectus coronatum. This is where the sternum (breastbone) bows out slightly. You should see healthcare provider to confirm the diagnosis

Since birth?: If you have had this since birth it is a normal condition and would be difficult to fix. If this is a new development you will need to be examined.
