Hello guys! First of all I’d like to apologize for my english, since it’s not my first language.
I have a sphynx kitten for 2 months, and last week I found those spots on his skin. I took him to the vet and she couldn’t figure out she couldn't figure out what it was, but her main theory was the sun. Have you ever gone through something like that?

Welcome! Are you referring to the dark blotches or is the skin actually raised? It’s hard to tell from the pic. If it is the darkness,that can actually be due to pigmentation and sunning themselves. Are they hanging in a window for long periods of time?

Thank you so much for your answer! The skin didn’t raise, it’s just the darkness. He loves to stay in the window, maybe he is spending too much time there…

Summer months here I have experienced this, so I think if you can limit time in direct sun you will see a change in a few weeks. Keep us updated.
