HI,

The nipple  is made of two parts: the nipple and the areola. The nipple is the projected part and the areola is the dark pigmented skin that surrounds the nipple. Large areolas may look out of proportion with the rest of the breast but it happens naturally.  Other options include wearing pads that can cover it up or avoiding tight clothes. There are no medical complications from having large areolas, but there are surgical options available. Talk to your doctor about this surgical procedure as an option.  

Take care and regards.
