X-ray for certainty: It doesn’t sound like anything you should worry or concern yourself about. If you have started to take exercise and working out seriously thus changing your diet you probably lost enough weight to now you’re starting to see veins and other structures on your body. The fat layer is where the blood vessels are located. Therefore this can also expose this bony prominence. X-ray for peace of mind
