Brief Answer:
Not concerning. Due to the blood vessels under the skin.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have checked the attached image. I have seen the mottling sort of pattern you are talking about. This is due to the vasculature (blood supply) and nothing to be concerned about. Such a pattern can often be seen in infants. All you need to do is to exclusively breast feed the child, keep her warm and clean. If she is active and playful, you need not worry.

Regards.
