Areola is the area and skin surrounding a woman's nipple. It varies from woman to woman, and can be large or smaller in diameter. The color can be anything from pink (in Caucasian women) or darker (other cultural backgrounds). It can also have small mounds which are oil cavities to aid the nipple in its functions. A lot of women can also have strands of hair on the areola. Usually during pregnancy the areola can darken, and it remains so afterwards.
Answer
Areola is a small space in a tissue or part such as the area between veins on a leaf or an insect's wing or a small circular area such as that around the human nipple or an inflamed area around a pimple or insect bite.
