A member asked:

Is it normal for my daughter's areola to be lighter than the other? her lighter one looks like it's 'fading' and turning skin-coloured

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Pigment can vary in certain body parts. See your doctor if there is a concern as an exam is needed for skin complaints.
