A member asked:

I went backpacking a few days ago and the straps were putting a lot of pressure on my collarbones. originally they were bruised but now all that is left behind is a hard lump that feels like part of my bone. what is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It may be a callus from irritation of the external lining of bone, periosteum. Let it be, it will remodel by itself if there is no more trauma to the site. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
