Question

Help answer this question below.

Wondered this for a long time. What determines the color & size of the colored part around womans nipples? I think it is hair color, because blond women I know it is pale & dark haired it is dark. True? Also bigger breasts means bigger colored area?

    I'm wondering if it has something to do with the amount of iron in your diet. Iron affects the colour of blood, and therefore should affect the colour of sensitive skin areas [nipples, gums, lips, etc].
    I have mediterranian heritage, and quite olive/tan skin, but I've got pale nipples and pale lips/gums.
    I'm physically very similar to my brother, a year older than me, but I eat very little meat, and have an iron deficiency. He has much darker lips/gums/nipples compared to me, and enjoys his lamb, pork, and beef.
    It's also seen in my mom, who has an iron deficiency, but not as bad as mine..

    Could I be right?

    • I hadn't thought of this, but I am also very anemic, and I have lighter pigmentation in my nipples and areola. I have olive skin, native American heritage. My mom is not anemic, and I've seen her breasts, very dark brown areola and dark brown, large nipples. You've posed an interesting theory.......
