What Could Cause Mottled Appearance In A Toddler's Limbs?

Hi, my three year old woke up this morning and her limbs show a slightly mottled appearance. Its never happened before and she doesn't show any signs of being out of sorts...well beyond normal toddler behavior. Is this something I should be concerned with?

Hi...by what you quote ( as you say the kid is otherwise active and playing around) I feel that it could be cutis marmoratus which gives the skin a blotchy appearance and it is a self limiting one and nothing to worry about. It can occur due to changes in the ambient temperature also.

But....Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
