▲ 6 r/breastcancer
Does it get lighter with time?
Does it ever return to the pre-radiation skin shade?
It’s really quite pronounced, compared to the non-cancer areola. Is it because I’m bi-racial (white & SE Asian) with olive skin? Do white people with pink nipples/areolas get this darkening too? My non-cancer nipple/areola is ‘cafe au lait’ coloured, but my cancer one is a VERY dark brown now. Looks weird.
ETA: I should’ve said, I’m 3.5months out from finishing radiotherapy!
