Is it right at the bottom where the ribs meet? This is very common. DS2 has it and my BIL has it as does his son. I can not for the life of me remember what it's called though.

IIRC, my GP just said to watch it and make sure the chest develops normally.

Hi there, are you sure its not part of her sternum, sometimes it looks like a sticking out lump when there isn't much flesh there?

Other than that, sorry don't know what it could be but I'm sure your GP will put your mind at ease. You aren't wasting time at all!

Take her to the GP if you're worried. I did this with DS2 and he put my mind at rest.
