POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. Mottled skin, or "cutis marmorata," is common in babies, especially when they're cold or overstimulated. The skin appears with a marbled or lacy pattern due to the immature blood circulation in newborns. It usually resolves on its own as the baby grows.
Here are a few steps you can take:
1. Keep your baby warm: Mottled skin often appears when the baby is cold. Dress your baby in layers and use a blanket.
2. Avoid overstimulation: Some babies develop mottling when they are overstimulated, so creating a calm environment might help.
3. Monitor for other symptoms: If your baby has other signs like trouble breathing, feeding issues, or seems unusually lethargic, consult a pediatrician.
If the mottling persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it’s best to get your baby checked by a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.
