Hi....by what you quote I feel that the skin issue he is having is - Status Marmoratus. This occurs due to ambient temperature change too. But the darkening of skin I am unable to decide without seeing it. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

But with the complaints of Heart exploding and associated darkening of skin I suggest you take him to the nearest physician to get him examined.

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.
