drikaf1
I had a br 3 weeks ago. At the po appt. My areola came off when tape was removed. It now seems as though the color is coming back, but also outside of my areola. Why is the color spreading and is this permanent? The dark specks were not there before. This is the color of my areola but its spreading. I am now on antibiotics as well. Please help, and give me your honest expert advice.
