A member asked:

I have a mild redness around my left breast's areola. it is not itchy and the nipple seems the same as the other one. i am 24. what is that redness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More info: Too many possibilities to diagnose without doing an exam and knowing more. See a doctor. Most likely it is something benign and self-limited
