Is It Unusual For Disappearance Of Mottles After Hot Baths?
Hi, skin mottles when I first get into a warm/hot bath. It goes away quickly, within a minute or two. Just curious about it, I imagine the capillaries in my relatively cold skin vasodilate in the hotter water. Is it unusual to see it, or no? It reminds me of the appearance of dappling on a horse (which I know it s not).

Hi,
It is very natural that the colour caused by dilated capillaries by hot water bath disappear after the bath...so, there is no need to worry... ok
Hope this helps.
