swollen right areola, feeling a vein under the skin, feels hot sometimes?

Accepted Answer

Swelling could be: infection, inflammation, I would see dermatologist or gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment

Question 7

what causes nipples to change colors and areolas to get veins showing up on them?

Accepted Answer

Hormones: Female hormones are at work here!  Estrogen stimulates breast and nipple development.  Pregnancy hormones prepare the breasts for lactation.  Oxytocin stimulates the release of breast milk from the glands into the ducts after childbirth.  Darkening of the nipples and areola, as well as noticeable veins on the breasts, are common changes during pregnancy.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Pimple: You may have an infection that requires immediate attention

Question 9

for the last two weeks i've got more visible veins on my boobs and on areola. what causes veins to become more visible all of a sudden?

Accepted Answer

It depends....: Pregnancy, which can make existing breast veins more prominent needs to be rules out first. Oral contraceptive use or breast augmentation can also cause veins on the breast to enlarge. Most breast veins fade following pregnancy or when swelling from breast augmentation subsides. Blue breast veins are only a cosmetic problem, and have no health consequences. Get breast exam to rule out any growth.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Not at all!: He'll think you're beautiful along with all your parts! honest! btw, he has parts with veins too! not an issue, i promise! unless it wrecks your self-confidence! don't let it! best wishes! dr. Tholen.
