Areola is an annular area with deep pigmentation around nipple. The areola is about 3 ~ 6 cm in diameter, with different colors, rose red in adolescence and dark brown during pregnancy and lactation. It deepens after pregnancy and never fades.

Its sebaceous glands, also called areola glands, are some obvious small protrusions on the areola, which are large and shallow, and are used to secrete oil and protect delicate nipples and areola.

Generally speaking, the development of female nipples and mammary glands is different, and the color of nipples is also different. The main reason of areola blackening is the aging of cells and the secretion of female hormones, which leads to melanin precipitation in nipple epidermis. As long as it is in sexual maturity, nipple will naturally appear black halo, and if women have had sexual experience, nipple will also have such changes, which will not only make nipple black, but also make sexual organs gradually become black halo. Therefore, breast blackening is a symbol of women's physical maturity. Women who have a good sexual experience will also grow plump breasts and become more elegant and charming. Generally, the areola of people with white skin is light chocolate, and the areola of people with yellow and black skin is darker.
