A member asked:
Is it normal for the areola to wrinkle and get hard when it's cold? it also shrinks. i knew nipples get hard, but not the areola. why does this happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Areolar contraction : Contraction of the areola is common with irritation or exposure to cold . This is a normal reaction, and does not represent a concern.
