Hi, uhm just a quick very weird question. .what would be the reason for my nipples to turn purple/an almost brown color? they are usually always pinkish red...tia

Aureola color: is hormonally influenced and sometimes influenced by temperature. If you are cold, they can change due to reduced blood flow. Pregnancy can often change the color, so if that is a concern, you should perform a home pregnancy test. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
