Physiological cutis marmorata – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1526823298

Physiological cutis marmorata is a transient cyanotic mottling of the skin (livedo reticularis) which occurs as a response to cold exposure and disappears with warming. It is usually encountered in healthy infants and resolves during the first year of life. Involvement of the trunk as well as the limbs is common. Physiological cutis marmorata rarely occurs in adults though it may be seen in association with vascular stasis resulting from immobility or paralysis.
