One of my 5 c.orientalis newt efts has discoloration on its skin, but mostly on top of its head. Can anybody help identify whats going on with him and what i can do to help him? His head has a few grey spots and one white spot which is closest to his right arm. This happened a day after a water change. Pictures are below

He has been sitting out of water ever since this happened, which is not his normal behavior. He also seems very sluggish.

The sluggishness began two days ago on thursday, but i didnt notice the spots on his head until yesterday, friday. Overnight he hasnt moved but he is alive.

All other newts seem completely normal. They were all raised aquaticly by the breeder, so the other newts are still spending most of their time in the water and have normal skin/behavior.

If water parameters or more pictures are needed to identify, i will get them as soon as possible.
