What Causes A Dark Ring Around The Areola Of One Nipple?

I have a dark ring around the areola of one nipple. It is very sensitive with little lumps in it. Is this an allergic reaction to something? I know the nipple can darken during pregnancy but that is not even an option. I had a hysterectomy a few years ago due to precancerous changes. I guess my question is: What is it and how do I fix it?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such areola condition surrounding the nipple may be the fungal infection and not allergic condition and in my opinion such condition can be managed with "Miconazole cream" better to try this, hope this information helps, take care.
