My shoulder bump/bone/AC joint sticks out so incredibly far now that I don't even want to wear a tank top or my hair in a ponytail.
I've tried weight lifting, I've tried push/pull exercises. I've tried a ton of clean calories and protein with weight lifting. It will not be fixed.
It's the worst one I've ever seen even compared to ones I've seen online.
27 year old female
5'10" 135 naturally thin (genes).
Active/athletic.
Personal trainers don't know how to fix and physical therapist said lay off the presses and push-ups.
How can I fix/hide?? Also I sit at a desk and type all day

Hard to say without seeing what's there... Do you have any pictures to show so we can take a look?...
Is there pain associated with it or is it just a bump?...
Just taking a guess I would say build up the shoulders with some mass to help minimize the appearance of it create an 'illusion' to take focus off that area... Military press, front raises, lateral raises, rear flys.... and I'd throw some incline presses in for good measure.

The only way to make the AC joint less visible is to increase your muscle mass or increase your body fat. Since you're naturally thin, I would suggest a calorie surplus with a solid shoulder routine. Start with over head presses and follow up with shrugs and lateral raises. I've only seen this issue on really thin people. Increasing the size of your delts and traps is the only way to make the AC joint less visible.

I think you should see a chiropractor if your other shoulder doesn't look the same way. Picture only shows one shoulder so I can't tell if they are the same or not. Chiropractors are really good at putting bones back where they should be.

Is there a noticeable difference between the two sides? Are you targeting the chest (horizontal push) and back (horizontal pull) equally? Posture? There's a ton of variables. And, frankly, the picture you posted doesn't really look unusual. A better illustration would be a picture which compares both sides, and then a side view of the shoulder/AC to assess if there's any irregular protrusion...
Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.
