Q: The black circle around the nipple of my right breast is 50% bigger than the left one and the breast is also slighlty smaller than the left one. Is this normal?
A:The black circle around the nipple is called the areola. Usually both sides are equal in size as are the size of the two breasts. But sometimes it is possible that one breast is smaller than the other and so is the areola. You need not worry about this.
