What Could Be The Reason For Having Left Areola Darker Than The Right One?

Today I noticed that my left areola is significantly darker than my right one. It caught my eye as I was changing in front of a mirror. This is new; they used to be the same color. I've had my annual exam and had a recent mammo, but don't have the results yet. Should I be worried?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
This is just a normal physiological variation. The slight variation in the color does not natter. It does not indicate any pathology.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
