Q: one of my nipples changes colour regularly temporarily going a more blue/purple colour before back to pink. doesnt happen the other as often , why?

: Hormonal variations can cause this, but if color changes only occurs in one nipple,I recommend a breast examination by your physician, gynecologist or a breast surgeon.
