Hi there,
Is it possible that you might be pregnant?Usually areolas become darker during pregnancy, which could start with one areola becoming darker and then the other one catching up.
If you are sure you are not pregnant,then hormonal changes (due to an increase of estrogen level),could cause areola darkening.This can happen during your menstrual cycles,or due to certain medications, particularly birth control pills.
I don't think this problem has anything to do with breast cancer,since you don't mention having other symptoms,such as a lump,skin dimpling,nipple retraction, (turning inward) redness or scaling of the nipple,nipple discharge etc
If the discoloration persists,I would recommend seeing your Doctor (when you are back home) for evaluation just to make sure that all is fine okay?.
Take care .
