Costal cartilage

2017-07-14 17:18:47
I have been obsessively rubbing my costal cartilage in the top-left corner of my chest, and it has started to bruise. Is it possible that I damaged the cartilage from rubbing it with my fingers many times, sort of aggressively, to the point of it hurting? Thanks,
