Why are nipples black?

When a woman is just born, her nipples are in a concave state. Later, when she enters puberty, the various mechanisms of the body gradually improve, the breasts begin to develop, and the nipples become protruding. At this time, the color of the nipples is generally pink, but some women find that as the body grows, the color of the nipples gradually becomes darker, and may even be abnormally dark. Today I will introduce to you some reasons why nipples become darker.

1. Liver Qi Stagnation Leads to Dark Nipples

Modern women have special physiological processes such as menstruation, uterine bleeding, pregnancy and childbirth, and bear the double pressure of work and family in their daily lives. They are often more susceptible to external evils such as wind, cold, summer heat, dampness and heat than other people, which leads to qi imbalance. Because women are more sensitive and emotionally unstable, they are prone to internal factors such as depression, impatience, anger, excessive thinking, etc., which disrupt the circulation of qi and blood, leading to endocrine disorders and causing nipples to turn black.

2. Genetics or diseases and other factors make nipples dark

If there is an endocrine disease, it will not only manifest itself in facial chloasma, breast lumps and uterine fibroids that women are prone to, but the nipples will also turn dark. It may also cause immune system diseases, osteoporosis, hyperlipidemia and other diseases. The root cause of these diseases lies in endocrine disorders, and treatment should start with balancing the endocrine system.

3. If you touch it frequently, it will also make the nipples dark.

As long as a woman reaches sexual maturity, her nipples will turn dark. The nutrition of the breasts depends entirely on sex hormones. If you touch them frequently, the pituitary gland will produce hormones, which can also make the nipples turn dark.

4. Sexual activity will promote nipple darkening

Sexual activity can enhance your sexuality, change your sexual organs and make you a mature woman. Although everyone thinks pink nipples are cute, pink means immaturity. Dark nipples indicate a mature woman. So dark nipples indicate that you are a mature woman!

Use whitening products to lighten the areola. Many whitening products can be used to cover the areola and nourish the breasts, but the whitening effect is limited. Regarding the situation where hormonal changes after pregnancy cause the areola to darken, since melanin is deposited in our dermis, whitening products only target the epidermis, so they have no effect.
