A member asked:
Is it normal that my boobs are changing at 21? my left areola is bigger and darker then the right and has never ever been like that before and it also appears to have a dark black vein around part of it. its also very tender unlike the right side 1.

See a gynecologist : Your areola can change color in adulthood, and not just when you get pregnant (although this is the most common time for it to happen). Darker areolae might be a sign of a hormone imbalance. But you said you notice that only one of your areola has changed in color, there might be something more medically serious. I recommend you to see a gynecologist as soon as possible.
