Is it normal to have dark nipple and areola color?

In addition, if the color of the nipple and areola becomes darker and small nodules are formed or bulges occur, it may be a sign of serious liver disease. In addition, ovarian tumors in women can also increase the secretion of estrogen in the uterus and ovaries, and can also cause the color of the nipples and areola to darken.

Reasons for darkening of the areola

1. Pregnancy

Changes in male hormones cause the areola to become larger and darker. Even after giving birth, the male hormones gradually recover and the areola size will never return to its pre-pregnancy state. During pregnancy and after childbirth, women's livers continue to adjust emotional fetal toxins, which leads to liver function impairment. Coupled with the influence of male hormones, the pigmentation increases sharply and settles, so the nipples also become darker and heavier.

2. Sun exposure

Wearing a swimsuit without sun protection or isolation will make the fabric more transparent after drainage, allowing the sun to erode your chest. Or if you like to wear thin and transparent clothes, don’t wear underwear, and don’t use sunscreen, all of these can cause your areola to darken.
