Dark, scab-like patch of skin on areolas. no pain or tenderness. 8 months pregnant. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Areolar scab: At eight months of pregnancy, breasts are larger, and heavier, and the areolar areas can become irritated due to movement against the supporting bra, and this friction can cause scabs or rough places . Ask your OB provider to examine the areas when next seen to make certain that the cause is normal at "eight months".
