Hi,
It's really hard to tell you what's going on...The change in your nipple color could be due to a circulatory problem or other abnormality that doesn't necessarily mean breast cancer.The best advice I can give is to see your health care provider or you Gynecologist soon for a breast exam who will most likely order a few tests and can also send you to a Breast Specialist if needed.
I am sorry... I know you were hoping for a better answer but I really think you need a Doctor to investigate this problem for a correct diagnosis.
Good luck and please keep us posted.
