Is it normal for the areola to wrinkle and get hard when it's cold? It also shrinks. I knew nipples get hard, but not the areola. Why does this happen?

I'm 16 but I noticed my areolas being strange. Sometimes they're soft and so puffy, almost to the point where it looks like the nipple is inverted but other times they are deflated and rough/bumpy and it looks sunken with wrinkles. Is this bad?
