I have noticed a few different times while in the shower (idk if the shower caused it or thats just when i was naked) that my left nipple is a blueish purple color but my right nipple is a normal color. i am a 18 year old woman who is a virgin?

Normal variation: There are veins that travel underneath the skin through the nipple. Occasionally, they can be seen when pressing on the skin or during times when your vasculature is vasodilated such as a hot shower. They are normal and of no concern. Remember that your breasts can each be very different from the other in size, shape and color.
