Hi,

By what you say I feel that this could be status marmoratus or a normal physiological phenomenon because of ambient temperature changes.

But skin conditions are always diagnosed after seeing them directly so I suggest that you upload some images and get back to us.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
