What Causes Reddish Spot On The Temple Region?

My 22 months old boy has a reddish spot with the size of a dime on his temple. It has been there for 3 days and last night it got swollen and bit warm. We brought him to the doctor and they said, he just have a sensitive skin and that is probably why he got that. I am not convinced with his diagnosis. Should I be worried? Thank you
