What Causes Swollen Areola?
Hello, I have been experiencing the swelling of the base around my nipple, I believe to be referred to as the areola. This is not painful at all. It only happens when my body is warm from having on a shirt or just being out on a hot day. When I take off my shirt in a cool area or when I feel cold from my setting, they shrink and look like....well normal. Can you tell me what this is?

Hello,
It could be due to minor hormonal changes. As a first line management, you can take mefenamic acid for pain relief.
Generally, it will settle by itself. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
