My breasts turned darker, my nipples turned red, and my areola is cracking. not pregnant. what is the cause of this and should i be worried?

See your MD: You are young and both breasts are affected. This speaks against anything malignant, and I am guessing more hormonal at this point. I recommend though that you see an MD for an exam!
