I have a minor case of pectus carinatum. I really am unsure of going to public pools or beaches due to this. I'm afraid I might be made fun of. What should I do?

I have the same condition-- but it is only on one side of my chest. I am pretty flat chested, so the bone protrusion is rather noticeable.
If it really plagues you, surgery IS an option- but the recovery and pain is supposed to be really awful. (not to mention the cost).
For me, I like to tell people about it and see reactions! It gets peoples eyes bulging and saying COOL! or WOAH! I used to be very embarrassed, but now I show it off as my own little quirk!

If human beings do no longer desire to be friends with you through fact of your seems, they are dumb and not properly worth being your buddy besides. only be your self and confer with them, be wonderful, and people who're additionally wonderful would be your buddy. anybody else does not count.

You can wear a shirt while swimming if it bugs you that much.
