Answers:
Could be a sign of stress. If they go away after it's back in its cage, it may just be that it isn't used to you or it is getting cold.
Just Google the symptoms, I suggest that because it will take less time than waiting for someone to tell you, plus too many people will say different things. If you Google it, and find a few reliable sites, you are more likely to be able to help your iguana if there is something wrong. Personally, I have no experience with iguanas or reptiles at all, but I have a lot of experience looking up stuff. Quick! Google! Or Yahoo!, but I find that Yahoo! is a better homepage while Google is a better search engine.
How old is your ig? How long have you owned him/her? You may be noticing him getting ready to shed (a discoloration may occur - though it is usually a "greying" effect - not black spots). The ig may have mites and you may be seeing the effect of those mites under the skin. If you can't determine if s/he's shedding, then seek help from a vet. If they are mites, they can be treated easily.
If you are new to igs..these things will become less scary over time...Remain calm, as you get to know your animal and what is "normal" for him/her.
You rudely demand people to hurry up. Why don't YOU hurry up and take your iguana to a VET?! Get off your lazy butt, stop wasting time on the computer and do the responsible thing.
It is your pet's RIGHT BY LAW to receive proper medical care and to deny it is abuse. If you can't or won't get your pet to a vet and provide responsible care, then you have no right to have one.
It could be a fungal infection . It could be poop or several other things . Try giving him a warm bath , cleaning the cage and if its still there take him to a good reptile vet for a check up .If its fungus he will need treatment .
