Default Moisture ?? spots under the Lacquer

I have a 2021 Martin HD35.
I had to store it in its case 6 months (with a daddario humidipak )
A few days ago the guitar flew overseas to Europe.
It wasnt accepted in the cabin so it had to travel with the luggage.
I gave it some time to acclimate.
Nothing broke or cracked , the guitar plays and sounds great.
But when i look to the back and sides under a bright light , multiple spots appear under the finish, as if it is moisture under the lacquer.
I dont know whether it was caused by the storage or by the exposure to low temperatures in the luggage.
Any ideas?

An old furniture trick is to rub petroleum jelly on the area that's blushed. I've tried it 1/2 a dozen times with mixed results.

When it does work, wipe it off immediately after the blushing is gone because it can actually darken the area too much.
