Why do girl's areolas darken during puberty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormones: The hormones that become potent and prevalent in adolescents do many things, including hair growth where there was none, breast development, increased height, increased weight, changes in the brain and how one thinks, deepening of the voice, acne, and the menstrual cycle. Another effect is that the areola darkens.
