Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This is just the skin changes around nipple which is indicative of formation of areola region in growing years during adolescence when puberty is established. You would be in tanner stage 3.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
