Question 10

what could be the reasons for the tips of my nipples turning a purple color?

Accepted Answer

Purple nipples: This is basically a normal, transient change due to changes in the blood vessel beneath the nipples. The nipples are an erotic organ and get extra blood flow with arousal; after that the nipples can get congested, and congesiton of the veins will cause a blue or purplish color. I don't think you need to be concern. I am assuming you are not talking about purplish-black discoloration from a bruise.
