Brief Answer:
Don't worry, once the hairs will grow it will not be apparent
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for asking on this platform
I have gone through the query, have seen the images and do understand your concern.
Actually the shape of skull can be abnormal due to abnormal positioning or abnormal development.
The developmental abnormality is worrisome as it is associated with other issues but the postural cause is always benign.
Even at this age the skull shape changes and that's why I won't be overly worried. Mild abnormality will not be apparent once hair will grow.
So you need not to worry at all and also as there is no specific treatment you have to keep patience. Just wait and observe.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
