| Sometimes the
color of areolas and nipples darken
on their own accord, but the majority
of pigmentation occurs after pregnancy.
There is no quick cure for it.
If your areolas are dark and enlarged,
I would first suggest a areola
reduction to reduce how prominent
they look. If all you desire is
less pigmentation, the Doctor
will prescribe Retin-A topical
cream. The pigmentation will be
reduced, but cannot be completely
reversed. Also, treatment must
be continued for while with patience
before results are achieved. Also,
a light colored tattoo on the
areolas can be a quick fix, but
ink color must be chosen with
careful. It is not recommended,
as under close examination, the
areolas still appears to be slightly
unnatural.
In addition, laser lightening
of the areola is quicker, but
comes with a temporary wound
and at a higher cost. Please
think twice before using some
areola lightening creams on
the market, as the ingredients
are often unspecified and the
damage they cause may cost more
to repair than the cost of the
cream itself.
